Predictions of a late winter have been dispelled, and I've already been on two snow kite missions! No matter that on each trip at least one of the key ingredients was missing (first snow, then wind), but the second trip to Tekapo over Queen's Birthday (picture below), was pretty awesome.
The Womens Chin Wag/Girls Night scheduled for Wednesday 17 March has been postponed to Wednesday 24 March. Wind and Kite surfers welcome. Venue: Thai Talay, 9 Humphries Rd., Ferrymead. Time: 7.00pm Please ring Nicola on 384 0696 to let her know if you will be attending.
This will be held on the 10th and 11th of April. approx 2pm tides. This will be the last chance to hold the event for the season so a strong turn out is expected. Watch this space closer to the time for more info. The event is to be run by Chris so contact him on 021 1894111 for more info
THE FORECAST IS GOOD FOR THE WEEKEND- YEE HA....But at the moment it’s difficult to say which day, (Yesterday it looked like Sun, today its looking like Sat) so a final call of which day will be made tomorrow, I’ll email you all again….. SO HERE'S THE PROVISIONAL PLAN...
The first Aviemore Challenge Trophy event held at Lake Aviemore, South Island from 1-3 Jan 2010 was dubbed a great event by all those who took part as well as the organisers and their team. In all 19 windsurfers entered, slightly less than expected, but for a first event all were happy. Everyone took home a cool tee shirt as well as a dental pack, there were trophies to keep for each of the main classes, a very special silver plate as the main Challenge Trophy and lots of spot prizes too. The social side of the event which is primarily organised around a lovely traditional camping/sailing spot was helped by sponsorship beer which added that special bonus to 'after sailing' stories !
