Anyone keen on an early morning paddle this Saturday 13th? Jacksons to Taramakau or Blackball to Grey lagoon? Keen to keep up the paddling skills

Well we're finally here West Coast-to-Coasters and hasn't it been a long time coming!

So, tonight after race briefing we're getting a photo of us all for the Grey Star. Meeting at the scoreboard area of the Westurf Hockey ground at 6.30pm. See you there!

This is where you'll find the cool kids on a Thursday at 5.30pm - above the Taramakau Bridge, about to spend 45 minutes attempting to manoeuvre a 5-6m inflexible piece of fibreglass down a large body of sometimes dicey water using a long pole with flared ends. Why would you want to be anywhere else?
