Photos - Eastern Bay of Plenty Paddle
The Event called Bums on Seats was run on Sunday. Only a few paddlers braved the early morning Mothers Day start at Thornton (probably cause mum would not let them) and headed for Whakatane in perfect conditions.
A few good swells going out the bar gave the 8 Wakas some fun and then it was an easy cruise with the wind behind.
The afternoon paddle saw the young ones join in for a paddle up the river to the bridge and back. We will do it all again in a few weeks time.

Raanj - It's also for Richard Thrupp and Hemi Wahapango. Be good to have as many people attend these. Use it for training, or just a casual paddle. Up to you.... you decide....

Ngawha2hoe - Way 2 Go Ranj and Bev good kaupapa enjoyed it thoroughly been a while since I did a mihi to the Bridge Fantastic conditions and good to see our region has someone couragous enuff to still run these hoes in the so called chill of winter. I mustve got frost burnt from that Whakatane Sun...It was a hot one.

Ngawha2hoe - Hey just a heads up the River hoe is a really great way to introduce newbies to a medium distance race in both the sixes and the singles not to mention supporting one of our regional reps who is fundraising to represent AOTEAROA at the worlds in August over in Sacremento.
