Having fun with the morning commute......
The Auckland ratepayers should be asked to fund more 'rigging areas' & 'launching access', not bridges and tunnels.....
Trademe auction in support of Christchurch Windsports community
This unique book is being auctioned by Windsurfing NZ to raise funds in support of the Canterbury windsurfers who have suffered in the earthquakes. The book has been donated by Neil Pryde and has a personal message from Neil.
" Be strong Christchurch. Our thoughts are with you. Look to the future, the wind will still blow! Neil"

Windsurf NZ - Proposed 2011/2012 Season
"There have been several suggestions that we get on and start organising next seasons calendar
I have started a draft calendar here http://groupspaces.com/WindsurfingNZ - if you want access to this (and don't have it) please register and let me know
I have listed below the main events run this year rescheduled for next season, this is extracted from the the calendar in the site above
there are a few holes and a lot of local events missing, but this is a start.
I have not scheduled the RSX:Techno events except the Nationals, nor the Kendall Cup series
I haven't listed the kite events either but I have been listing these on the site, I think its worth doing this as well
Couple of suggestions, it would be good to have a true North Island series - options include a Wellington leg, it would be good to get some racing restarted there. Also there is interest in Tauranga which is possibly attractive to both ends of the island - also Tauranga has a plentiful supply of SUPs which could be used to guarantee and event of some kind if wind fails, or maybe Taupo or Rotorua, or Taranaki?
I think we could still have a Get into windsurfing week at the start of the season to get people started, and then a Have a go week
The main events to schedule are national and series events as they are the ones that will matter most to windsurfers who may wish to travel to these.
