Winner 727 is going Skydiving and

he's really looking forward to feeling the rush of 200km wind in his face whilst free-falling.

All we can say is start praying!

Well done Peter Edwards from Suffolk in England.

Snow skiing allure

Make time to go skiing. When the Mountain is looking this good how could you resist.

With warmer temperatures being confirmed (i.e. an early Spring this year) you should take advantage of the good days in August.

Smart play or madness.

Little known fact. 

We average more hole in one's on the windy days than the still days. Look out for the Southwest, Southerly or Southeasterly and make sure you call in to try your luck.

This day was particularly windy and the with the pontoon looking like it was surfing thoroughly tested the moorings.

Crazy Scottish Fireman

Mike Bond was escorted to the site by the Hawkes Bay Volunteer Fire Brigade to complete a challenge.

Thinking the challenge was to hit a golf ball he got a rude shock to find out he had to brave the winter cold of Lake Taupo and get onto the pontoon.

Seems Mike will be going back to Inverness with his reputation enhanced.

First Snow

Great news for snow skiers. The first decent dump on Mt Ruapehu for the season. Ruapehu is officially open on 16th June. We'll neeed a lot more cold weather for this to happen...but this is a good start.
