Introducing...............

I've had quite a bit of correspondence through the last week or so from Hans Wannemacher about some of the Capital Paddlers events for the Stand Up Paddle boarding community over the summer. I could easily write a yarn up............but asked Hans if they like to put something together.............below is what he's written.

Capital Paddlers

A group of active Wellington SUP paddlers interested in providing a meeting place for other paddlers and those interested in getting into the sport.

Also launching a FUN Wellington Summer Sup Series.

Non-profit event(s) for all skill levels to get Welly SUPers together on a regular basis during summer for fun and fitness, and maybe a little competition (!).

These dates work well between the Ocean Outfitters summer SUP events so will keep Welly SUPers social, busy, and fit during summer! J

Also increase the exposure for the sport in Wellington and get new people along...
