“ Looking forward to C2C 2023. Todd and River Ninja have been extremely helpful in getting my boat sorted for the event. He is always very helpful and responsive to emails. Can’t wait to get back on the Waimak.”
Jim Williams, North Carolina, USA
“I am travelling to New Zealand for the Coast to Coast race in February 2023, Todd at River Ninja Rentals has been really helpful, sending me lots of information about different options and then reserving me a suitable kayak for the race. I can’t wait to get over there and get paddling!”
Susie Peart, U.K
“River Ninjas were the perfect partners for my kiwi kayak racing adventure. I'd highly recommend them”
