Working for Paddlers

Most of the time many will see me involved with events in Wellington for a range of water sports such as kayaking, surf ski, waka ama and also stand up paddle board.
Most of the work I'm involved in many just don't see that much of................these areas all need a good push so that they get the publicity they deserve.
I write articles for this page and also for Sportzhub http://www.sportzhub.com/  as well. The articles for Sportzhub aren't always for Welly Paddlers events, I write for other Event Organisers as well so their events are seen and that people travel to those as well.

I value the work that Retailers put into out Communities as well, so I support Fergs Kayaks, Wind Warrior, Wild Winds, Ocean Outfitters...... and of course my number one passion Think Kayaks International, with their surf ski brand.
Sometimes it's not all about money and those people take all the risks in their Businesses and sometimes they need some extra support which I feel is needed at times........ "No one man is an island"........ right??

So it's all about respecting what these people do and sometimes if you give a little, you may get a little back in return at some stage down the track. As the saying goes "You have to give, to receive"

So I make the brands I use as visible as possible and post a number of articles and photos online to promote the products as well as events.

As an example of making products visible....... Goggle.........Think surf skis............images....... hover over all the photos and see how many of them relate back to Welly Paddlers.........
