I get a phone call the other day........

Hi it's Peter here...... I want to come over to the dark side.........I said no don't do it!
Anyhow I know Peter from the Twilight kayak racing. We also have quite a lot in common having done a number of the same kayak and Multisport events going back as far back as the 80's.....yeah I started when I was about 12 :-)
Photos of Peter on the water on Thursday morning.......there weren't too many lawns being mowed that day!

Today I had the big roadie up to Taupo and back in a day.......very early start but made it back in time for date night! I dropped an Evo II elite off, for Barry in Taupo. We had a few surf skis and equipment to swap over between the Auckland and Wellington Fergs Kayaks stores.
Latest stock added to Wellington 1 x Think Evo Performance, 1 x Think Eze performance and finally 1 x Epic V8 performance

Tomorrow morning I'm out on the water with another dark side paddler JT.....I can't divulge what sport he's from..........there are at least two JT's in Wellington.
I spoke to another paddler, who paddles SUP, he is also keen to get into some cross training on his surf ski this Season as well !.....won't mention any names but he has a yellow and black ski....Wellington Represent!

Other big news.... things are coming together for the "Cold Kiwi Series"  we were approached by Davey Hughes from Swazi who is keen to throw in a thermal top for every event of the Series.......Yes please.... thank you very much Davey, you're a Legend.

We also have one huge spot prize at the last event.......it'll be a $750 to $1000 voucher........it'll all come down to how well the Series is supported by you......the paddlers........it's one of those performance based prizes.......support big.........win big.


Yep that's Davey's mugshot on the left.....many would have seen him helping out at the Crazyman last weekend along with a few others I know, who unselfishly volunteered to help Michael Jacques out.....Team work's fantastic isn't it!

Counting down...... 1 week to go till the Portage Race in Picton........ and 9 days to go till the Molokai Ocean race from Molokai to Oahu. http://www.surfski.info/races/pacific/story/1509/race-announcement-molokai-2014.html
