Calling everyone with a stand up paddleboard!!
On Saturday 13 April we have the National SUP Champs coming to our neighbourhood; first time it's ever been north of Auckland. We really want to show those Aucklanders that we know how to have a good time in Northland, so we want everyone who has a board to come along and take part in the 4km distance race, which will be on the sheltered safe shallow waters of the Waitangi Inlet. Doesn't matter if you've never raced before, it's just about participating. Go as slow or as fast as you like. There are classes and trophies for every type of board (including home made ones!), there are divisions for every age, from U12 to 70+, there are prizes for best fancy dress, LOADS of spot prizes - just come and be part of it. (And of course, claiming bragging rights for racing in the national championships!). And you can watch the pros in action in the elite distance races, the kids competing in the Northland Secondary Schools SUP Championships (if your kids are at secondary school and they can paddleboard, then find out whether your school is entering a team - if not why not?). It'll be a great day out. Find out all about it at www.supchamps.nz...

I am lighter than air, but a hundred people cannot lift me. What am I?
