Well it's Saturday morning 10 am and I've just been checking all the wind forecasts and this period of strong winds is hanging around like the proverbial bad smell.
Based on the fact that we are getting 50 kmh Northerlies gusting at around 85 kmh at times with the same winds hanging around till tomorrow afternoon we will have to........ postpone tomorrows event..............not cancel.
We will hold Event THREE next Sunday July 14 at Hataitai Beach.........by this time the winds right across the Wellington Region will have settled down.
Many people paddled last weekends Matariki.............event THREE next weekend..... then event Four two weeks after that............it's probably all worked well for many.
In the winter it's a matter of getting out when you can and being sensible and hey there's some good paddling to be had next week.
If you are a SUP buff and want to hide out of the wind this afternoon pop down to Fergs Kayaks in Wellington and have a chat to Felipe Dos Santos he's a Starboard sponsored rider he works at Fergs Kayaks in Auckland. He's around to talk Starboard and show you a range of 5 race boards that he has in the Wellington Store. Felipe is a qualified SUP instructor also and a great Ambassador for all the paddling Sports
