The wrap up for the 2014 Motorway Classic

Big thanks to all paddlers who turned out to have a crack at the 2014 Motorway Classic courses.

Sharlene was amaze balls again with registration and timing and remembering everyone's names thanks to Leonie for helping at the end with the steady stream of paddlers finishing the event. Also Graham Daniel for helping collect the boys and Howie and Q for the impromptu

Takeaways @ Churton BBQ.

Thanks to Q and Rick for supporting the girls on the short SUP course these actions epitomise what we'd like to see at all events on the watersports events around the Greater Wellington Region..... Encourage -Communicate - Support - nail those three and we'll all be streets ahead

in our communities.

Always awesome to see all the paddle sports mingling together on and off the water, remember to support events not only on our calendar but also events on www.hoetonga.co.nz and also www.capitalpaddlers.co.nz - www.manasupclub.org.nz - www.kupecanoeclub.org.nz ...........to name a few.

For anyone looking at a course rating for today, low tide event, fastest times 3 minutes slower then 2011 paddlers average times up to 5 minutes slower.
