KASK Kayak Fest 2018 : Early Bird Registration Offer
The KASK Kayak Fest 2018 is being held at Ngatitoa Domain, Mana, over the weekend of 2-4 March 2018.
The Domain gives us access to both the open sea through the Plimmerton Harbour, or into the calmer Pauatahanui Inlet. These location give shelter from the wind, and allow training or cruising to occur. The weather in March is usually quite settled and the weekend has been chosen with a full tide at midday. It will be a glamping weekend, with showers, catering, and covered areas for eating and socialising available at the local Sea Scouts hall. The launch site is very close-by.
There will be experienced instructors with Deb Voturno, David Winkworth, John Kirk-Anderson, Conrad Edwards, Peter Brooks, and David Welch. There will be a guest speaker on the Saturday night. The final programme is not yet out, but will include: ocean white water, boat manoeuvring, rescues, efficient paddling technique, and rolling.
Following on from the success of Ponui Island earlier this year, we are needing a definite number of registrations to make this Fest successful. It would be advantageous from a planning perspective, and for yourselves from a financial point of view, to register for the discounted fee of $200. This must be received before the end of October 2017, as after that date, the full fee of $225 will apply. Go to the KASK website at http://www.kask.org.nz
For those South Island based paddlers who just want to come across the ditch with their kayak, we suggest the use of the InterIslander as you can walk your boat on using your trolley wheels. We can meet you at the ferry building in Wellington. It just needs co-ordinating so that we know when you are arriving, and how many for adequate trailers and seating. The FAQ sheet will give details on how to contact the committee and to highlight the need for a pickup during registration.
Also, remember that following the KASK Kayak Fest 2018, the International Kayak Week is being run in the Marlborough Sounds. Come and do both. Please feel free to email myself through the kaskfest email address, or directly to me.
