Unsure if anyone has covered it, but The Ultimate Waterman is on currently and Zane Schweitzer just took out the SUP surfing which was hosted in the South Island of NZ.

We had the prone paddleboard (Zane won) and outrigger canoes last weekend (Danny Ching won). Its definitely worth checking out the pictures online.

More events to come!

It was on tv3 news last night and there was a full page spread of pics in The Herald on Monday plus there was some coverage of the day they did for Kala Alexanders Mauli Ola Foundation with the kids at Orewa on tv as well, which isn't too bad considering at this stage it really is a niche event.

The Ultimate Paddle on the Saturday was an awesome event, and all the pros were great ambassador, engaging with the fans both young and not so young.

The social media coverage has been really solid as well.

Hopefully they can build on it in the next few years
