Te Aito Pre Race Update

Kia Orana all

The word from Rarotonga is that it is a bit chilly (25 degrees!) and our Aitutaki paddlers have pulled out their winter clothes. They have had a look at the course, which starts in Avarua Harbour , and learning a few more surfing skills to take on the big swells. Escaping the hype isn't a bad thing either - the big prize in each category is a trip (courtesy of Air Raro) to the big Aito Tahiti race to paddle with 600 other top V1 paddlers!

Both Allister and Tuangaru (Vavu) thank everyone for their support, and Aitutaki Oe Vaka and Toa Moana for the cash and equipment. Don't forget Fletcher Melvin in Raro. Go hard guys - the paddlers of Araura are paddling with you.
