PRANZ 2025 - Murchison

PLEASE NOTE - TICKET SALE WILL GO LIVE HERE LATER - PROBABLY AROUND THE END OF AUGUST 2024. WE WILL ANNOUNCE WHEN TICKET SALES GOING LIVE.

PRANZ is returning to Murchison to celebrate 10 years since the first NZ Packrafting Meetup

We will again be based in Murchison on the four rivers plain. The meeting place of the Buller, Matakitaki, Mangles and the Matiri, of course there is also the mighty Maruia just down the road as well. This gives us great access to a large number of suitable runs which we can use over a wide range of flows. Being within the same catchment also helps as we don't have to decontaminate between rivers.

This event will be catered by the awesome Reefton Community Kitchen who will provide catering with dinner on Wednesday, breakfast and dinner on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and breakfast only Sunday. There is a Four Square in town for food supplies, but the options are limited so bring what you need with you if possible. Murchison also features a number of cafes and a decent pub.

We’ll be staying at Riverside Holiday Park, which has a range of cabin and camping options. You will need to book your own accommodation through their website, this is at additional cost and you will need to pay Riverside directly. There will be a marquee set up with seating – heaps of space for socialising and events, whatever the weather. 

We will be seeking registrations of interest in workshops and will release a tentative program as soon as we are able. If you have any suggestions for content you’d like to see included or can deliver, feel free to drop us an email, otherwise lock in the dates, and get ready to get wet!

We realise there is a lot of experience in the community that could be shared, so if you’ve got a skill you want to share, or a session you want to run, eg knot practice or how to gopro, get in touch.
