Hey I am Jas,

I have been paddling for 4 years, dabbled in lots of other sports - ocean swimming, CrossFit, oly lifting, powerlifting, softball rugby, cricket…but first time I sat in a waka I knew I was born to do it!

Achievements: NZ Open Women Elite team - World Sprints 2022 & 2024, World Long Distance Champs 2023.

NZ Open Women Long Distance OC1 Champ 2023 & 2025.

Favourite Quote: ‘If I can, I will”, pretty much how I tackle most things in life.

What Molokai means to me: 2025 will be my first crossing, opening the door to many more challenging paddles! Having met the first woman to cross the channel recently the opportunity to join a small group of Wahine pushing the boundaries is super inspiring.
