Important Announcement: Norfolk Island Ocean Challenge Rescheduled

04 December 2024

We regret to inform you that the NOC Committee has decided to reschedule the Norfolk Island Ocean Challenge (NOC), which was originally planned for January 2025. After thorough discussions with AOCRA, we identified several key factors that led to this decision:

  1. The current paddling climate and the appetite for participation.
  2. Timing and recent changes in AOCRA governance.
  3. Lower-than-expected paddler bookings.

We believe that rescheduling the event to 12 – 16 January 2026 is the best course of action. This ensures maximum value to the club, sponsors, and everyone involved as we build to what we expect to be an epic South Pacific event.Stay tuned for more updates and save this date!Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
