Waka hurdling, also sometimes called waka peke (jumping waka), is a Māori sporting competition of jumping unornamented waka tīwai (river canoes) over wooden beams set in the water.[1] There have been attempts to revive the sport and keep the tradition going.[2] The Auckland Museum has a photograph of the sport and spectators.[3] The hurdles are made of long tree branches.[3] Albert Percy Godber photographed the sport in 1910.[4] The competition is part of the festivities of traditional Māori regattas.[5]
