BRING IT ON 2017! Big plans ahead Get together and mid-season meeting
A mid-season meeting to see where we're at and hopefully get some good suggestions to further improve the work we do for the club. As we didn't get a chance to organise a Xmas BBQ this will also double as a social gathering.
Some topics to be discussed:
- Jardines access issues
- Creighton working bee
- SLWRC mega event (GY downwinder?)
- Rat Point issues after fire
- Club gear (Thank you FX for donating some snow kiting gear! Wish you all the best in your travels)
- Club benefits and membership
The WNZ AGM is traditionally held at and during the National Slalom event each year. Rather than scheduling a specific time and place it has been found easier to schedule it into the race schedule as conditions permit so it does not conflict or interfere with racing. If you have any matters you would like to raise at the AGM please notify Bruce Spedding.

Taranaki Wave Classic 2016 went off! Hosted by Carbon Art Windsurf Boards, the 2016 event delivered fantastic conditions for both official competition and the ‘unofficial’ practice day on Friday. Pungarehu – the spiritual home of New Zealand wavesailing – came to the party early on the Friday with the traditional south-easterly arriving by late morning. Early bird locals were there and on it well before lunchtime, as well as the visitors appearing from all around the country; eager to get some practice in.
Stu Warman competed at the Kona worlds in Florida last week. He finished 19th over all (100+ competitors) , and was second in his weight class - Light Medium. He was the only kiwi.
