Today is Matariki — the Māori New Year, marked by the Pleiades rising before dawn. ✨️🌅

A time to honour the past, give thanks for the present, and look to the future with hope.
That feels like the right moment to launch Feathers to Ferns. 🪶🌿

We dreamed Feathers to Ferns as a community support network — a co-creation with our partner clubs — because it truly takes a village to help Kiwi rowers fly.

Our first story begins with Mackenzie Tuffin, whose journey has been shaped by two wonderful rowing communities: Star Boating Club in Wellington and Waikato Rowing Club, where her next chapter continues.

Every journey is different.
Every athlete is different.
Every club is different.

But behind every Kiwi rower learning to fly, there is a village helping them rise.

Feathers to Ferns — because it takes a village to help Kiwi rowers fly. 🕊

Introducing LaszloLab 🔬🛠🔍 — where we investigate ideas, peek behind the scenes, and find practical solutions in the world of boat building.

This is where we test ideas, challenge assumptions, and ask the question:

Design Yay or Design Nay?

Episode 01 starts with our 20-metre in-house CNC machine and the story behind Jo’s Maadi-winning coasters.

Welcome to the Lab. 🤓🥼

🏠🚣‍♂️ Rowing Trail Blazers — Episode 03, Part 1

We were invited to something very special in Hobsonville: the opening of the new Westlake Boys High School Rowing House.

Because a rowing house is never just a building.

It is where early mornings begin, socks disappear, boats are carried, seasons are built, and young athletes grow up a little bit. (Except for Cam Webster, he's never gonna grow up)

Jo Shotter is getting her Maadi Cup-winning coasters.

To be continued…
Join us for Part 2 when we step into the new Rowing House. 💙

Waikato winter. 7am.Lake Karāpiro. Long-distance racing. 🥶🚣‍♀️

Why do rowing people give up a warm Sunday morning for this?

We went to Flynn Cove to find out.

Episode 02 of Rowing Trail Blazers: Going the Distance 💙

And yes… the sauna at the end was very well deserved. ♨️
