Our supporting tohu represents Te Hau (the wind/Tāwhirimātea) – as it is the wind that creates the momentum, that enables us to move forward.
The design echoes the visual depiction of Te Hau in Te Waka Hourua Ki Te Pae Tawhiti, strategic work undertaken in earlier mahi to create a visual link to the journey so far.
The line-weight has been adjusted to incorporate two parallel lines in unison (represents a bird's eye view of the wake of a double-hulled Waka on Te Moana).
