The Paekakariki Surf Life Saving Club have just announced a new race for Wellington. It's called the Aeroplane Island race if you can't find it on your maps goggle it! .............. you'll find it's called Tokomapua Island. Anyhow the island is about 4 km off the beach at Paraparaumu, it's the northern of the 3 small Islands off Kapiti Island and is just under 2km from Kapiti Island.
The race is of course open to NZ Surf Life Saving Craft, Waka Ama, Surf skis and Sea Kayaks.
The 16km course heads around Tokomapua Island then heads South to finish at the Paekakariki Surf Life Guard Club House. There is also a 6km course as well. I'm still trying to find out if there is an alternate course if the weather turns to muck on the day or whether they'll transfer the race to the following day or following week.
The info on the race is on http://www.pslg.co.nz/ or you can contact Karen Simpson at kjsimpson@clear.net.nz or Matt Warren from matt.warren@clear.net.nz
As more information comes to hand you'll see it updated here.
