Terrace Downs Multisport Race

Friday, February 19th, 2010

When Glen Currie called by and told us that he is race director for the new multisport race at Terrace Downs we came on board to assist.

Multisport needs a boost at the moment – not enough decent South Island events. This was not always the case. What happened? After being involved as event and athlete sponsors since 1986 we took a break away from it for the past 6 years.

Glen deserves the support. Methven deserves the support. Terrace Downs deserve the support. Get your entries in.

The Evolution Omega

Friday, February 19th, 2010

Two weeks before the 2010 Speights Coast to Coast, Gordon Walker described his new Evolution Omega as “AWESOME”

Drier in the waves, holding a truer line, and allowing him a higher seating position, the Evolution Omega offered Gordon a better distance-made-good with lower fuel burn.

Dougal Allan reported similar during his build-up to the 2010 race Sisson Kayaks are proud to be the kayak supplier to Gordon and Dougal, who raced side by side to be placed 1st and 2nd in the 2010 Speights Coast to Coast Longest Day race.

In addition Gordon repeated a typical Steve Gorney trick – he recorded the fastest paddle time of all of the Longest Day entrants. The overall fastest paddle out of all 721 entrants was recorded by Peter O’Sullivan using one of his trusty Evolution Edge kayaks. Not bad customer performance from a one-man-band retirement hobby business.

Under Construction

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

Welcome to my new website. The old one was created before broadband was a reality. The old website structure was like a 1920′s car. This new one will, when finished, be more fun for you – and more fun for me. The construction will continue for a few weeks until all of the quirks are ironed out. It can only happen on the server that it will reside on.

I have been ‘blogging’ since before the art was invented. Since 1998 I have used my Comings Goings and Windups as a platform to invite change. Now you can also contribute. Just click on any blog heading in order to leave a comment.
