Not enough wind to run freestyle apparently. Lots of fish and chips and beer (I'm guessing).

Yeah - not enough wind so far for a result - but the weather and fishing has been awesome.

We had a downwind race last night in 8-10k cross shore - won by Brock.

Report for today is 15 rising 20k, we will pushing the whole event to try for a result by the end of today.

Cheers

PS - Had a huge session at Ruakaka River today with the half the crew from the comp - so nice to get on the water after watching it all day yesterday!
