Playing in the wave on Middles
The event was kicked off with a run on Middles, where all the girls showed off their skills playing on the waves and styling around the river. The more experienced practised their instructional skills by assisting the newbies - which gave everyone a chance to work on specific goals. After a well deserved lunch the girls divided up into teams which focused on different paddling aspects (safety, leading and developing personal skills) and paddled different sections of the Buller. Everyone came back buzzing and an relaxing evening was had with plenty of tales and laughs shared between the group.

Sunday was another pearler of a day which was a fab host to the WOW competition. This was held at O'Sullies rapid and gave a chance for the everyone push themselves and show off some sick moves. It was magic to see chicks carving up on the wave, making some wicked lines and sexy eddie turns. Soph Mulder was seen having a cheeky wee surf and KT got her kit off in the water - exposing her extreme white arse to some baffled onlookers! (which was rewarded with spot prizes!)
KT on O'Sullies
After the event had finished a couple of our crew (Sophia, KT & Leela) decided to tackle the mighty Mauria Falls - everything was looking sweet, the girls pumped themselves up and the crowds gathered to watch. All went over without a hitch and came up at the bottom with a grin that a cheshire cat would be proud of! A wicked way to top off the weekend. (It was flammin difficult to get them to talk about anything else on the drive home!) - however they deserve the bragging rights, particularly as they did it before the boys!
Checking out Mauria
Sheewee, Paddlerzone and Cumec Mag were key sponsors of the event - providing prizes ("yeahya - i can pee standing up!") and resources for the girls. A huge thumbs up to them for supporting such a choice event.

However Ari and her dedicated team of organisers are the ones which are the true stars of the weekend. Without their vision and organisational skills the event would not have happened. I'm sure that everyone that attended will agree with me when I say that it was one of the best boating weekends I've had and that we appreciated the time and effort that was put in for the event. Cheers ladies! For those who missed out this year - don't fret, after the attraction and support that the event generated it is set to be a yearly occurrence. Keep an eye out for information around November - and if you live in the North Is then check out info for the event up there.

See you out there on the water.
