We are going to start extra Board training for Nippers aged 10
years and over.
These will take place at the Pauatahanui Inlet on Thursday
evenings at 5:30, first session starts next week on September
27th. We meet in the carpark on Mana Esplanade by
Paremata Bridge (the carpark on the other side of the road from
Burger Wisconsin).
The aim of this is to give our Nippers a chance to do some
paddling in flat water, we have found this is a great way to
teach them correct technique. Only Nippers 10 years and above
and who have a 200m badge may attend. (if new and not sure re
200 m badge please contact us to ascertain if suitable for your
child). As with all surf activities this is not compulsory
but just a chance to help Nippers as they transition onto our
Fibreglass boards.
If you are likely to attend please text Lynnie on 021
828 666. Kids need to wear warm clothing, wetsuits and
polyprops under wetsuits are best, wetsuit booties are also great.
We will try to use as much day light as poss so please be there
promptly, waterproof head torches are also a good idea.
Parents we need help with unpacking the trailer and sorting
boards on arrival.
Special thanks to Lynnie, James and Rado who will make sure
boards are packed on the trailer and that the trailer gets
there!
