What We Do

We are not coaches! 

 

We are a multisport kayak rental business here to offer kayak options and solutions to athletes from those new to the sport, or looking to try different options, without having to buy / sell the boats to work out what they need. We’re also here to offer options for people travelling from overseas for events that might find it a bit difficult to fit their 5m kayak into overhead luggage.

 

Whilst we have set this business up with Coast To Coast at the forefront, there are many other events where our fleet can be used for either lead-in events or as stand alone races. There are plenty of other epic races in the South Island such as Topsport ProAm series, Salmon Run, Rasdex Series, Clutha Classic & Waimk Classic as well as many other local events.

 

Our fleet of kayaks will suit all of these events and therefore will be ideal for training as well. If you’re not sure which boat is best for you, please touch base as early as you can to work through your options as the closer it gets to the events, the harder it will be to alter your booking.

 

From 1-day to 6-months – we have plenty of options available including weekly payment plans to help spread your costs. Remember, we know exactly what its like to start out in this sport, we know the challenges faced when trying to gear-up…especially the costs…we want to offer solutions to take some pressure off and allow you to achieve your goals.

“ 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”
