Well the Winter Series has been finalised, the Organsiers are getting amped up ready to host their races, Fergs Kayaks, Wellington staff are even organised and getting prepared to get out the water with us, this Series is going to be EPIC.
Just to clarify the entry fees for Joern, Chester and Sharlene's races in the WCKS............ $5 for singles, if you are paddling a double it's still $5 for the boat ($2.50 each)........and it's $10 for a W6 (just under $2 each.) The reason for this is that, logistically it's way more difficult to transport a double or a W6, let alone put a crew together......... so as Good Hosts we recognise this............so your reward is a cheapy entry!!!!
I had an e-mail from Duncan Groenewald, ex Wellington, now living in Melbourne he had goggled Wellington kayaking and of course came up with Welly Paddlers at the top of the list!
Lesson to everyone if you want to promote your sport well, via print media and your own website you'll be found.............also if you don't post information regularly people won't bother checking your Website or Facebook page............I'm talking about posting something at least once maybe twice a week.............come on you must all have something newsworthy from all those training sessions or other trips or races that club members have done outside of Wellington. If you have a website that's too complicated to update................. get rid of it and get something that's easier to use for 3 or 4 Club members, so they can contribute to updates.
Anyhow that's my waffle for this month. Back to Duncan, he is with a group called, Melbourne Paddlers they are on Facebook, he said to check Utube for one of their ocean swell riding expeditions recently, check this out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLb-PFvUiz0 Duncan is on the left at the start of the clip, red jacket with the blue towel around his neck............like Billy T.
Duncan used to paddle a red and white zebra stripped Fenn Mako Millenium which is still in NZ somewhere, and I sold him my UFO which he took back to Melbourne with him.
Well out on the water..............after some mixed training sessions over the last 2 weeks it was actually like a millpond pretty much, when I went out from Freyberg Beach late this afternoon. I'm doing most of my training on the Think Evo II, but today I thought I'd treat myself today by paddling the Think Uno Max which is a pure speed machine (in the right hands.)
