Lights at night

Posted on by

 

A reminder for the clubs please; the skipper of a vessel travelling down Evans Bay at night came close to running down a waka ama because they couldn’t see them

I don’t have the exactly details, but thought it is probably timely to remind clubs that they need to have a clearly visible all-round white light if they are on the water either early morning or in the evening.

Thanks

Several ama stolen or vandalised

Posted on by

Several ama have been stolen or vandalised at Mana Pasifika OCC based at Ngati Toa Domain.

Anita Taggart’s ama was blue and was from a surfrigger. Dennis Ngatai had a yellow click-in ama, also for a surfrigger, Piki Emery had a white ama for a Tomahawk.

If you find these, or someone is trying to sell these to you, please contact Hoe Tonga or the owners.

This race will be at Dolly Varden Beach (next to Paremata Bridge in Mana/Porirua). The forecast is for a strong Westerly.

The course may involve going to Onepoto and back (to get shelter from the wind), and on to Brown’s Bay and back.

When you arrive, please come to registration (ask for Joern or Tanya).

Tai Paddle to give away

Posted on by

Thats’s right, a brand new Tai Paddle will be one of our spot prizes for the Hoe Tonga W6 PADDLA Series.

But you have to race (and be on the roster for your respective team) in order to go in the draw. So go on, get those entries sorted.

For more detail and to see who has entered, go to https://hoetonga.wordpress.com/2016/04/24/hoe-tonga-w6-paddla-series-2016/.

Please don’t leave this until the last minute, as this makes it hard on organisers. All entries are to be online done by your club reps.

Race 3 of Ice Water Paddler Series postponed!

Posted on by

Postponement!

Due to the very poor weather forecast for this coming Sunday, the Ice Water Paddler Series Race 3 has been postponed until Sunday 31 July.

I know that some of us are hardy enough that we would paddle regardless, but I’m worried about keeping the time keepers happy too ;).

Questions? Call Joern on 021-1250997

Ice Water Paddler Series – Race 2 results

Posted on by

Thanks for participating in and supporting this race. Some reasonably challenging conditions for the rudderless W1, with a hard side-on wind for most of the way. The course distance was 9km, with the Hutt River bridge as the half way turning point.

A total of 16 paddlers were in attendance. The next race will be back in Porirua, let’s get those number up again.
