The agency works closely with our local community and we are proud
sponsors of a number of events and organisations:
• North Shore Beach Series • King of the Harbour • Takapuna Bowling Club
• Westpac Helicopter Trust • Swim Vanuatu
North Shore Beach Series - 2009/2010
The North Shore City Beach Series is a unique event. It has three main disciplines kicking off simultaneously for 16 Tuesday evenings over the summer months. The three disciplines are a 1km ocean swim, a 5km beach run and a 5km surf ski paddle. A competitor can participate in any one of the chosen disciplines on race night but can swap and change to participate in all disciplines throughout the season. It really makes staying fit and meeting people easy and enjoyable. More info: www.beachseries.co.nz.
King of the Harbour - 2010
King of the Harbour is a unique event showcasing the rapidly growing water sports of surf ski ocean racing, outrigger paddling & sea kayaking. King of the Harbour, as one leg of the current Surf Ski Ocean Racing World Series, aims to attract some of the world’s most talented ocean athletes from both New Zealand and abroad. Amongst a number of other elite New Zealand ocean racing athletes expected to compete are recent flatwater kayaking Olympians Ben Fouhy, Steven Ferguson, Mike Walker & Erin Taylor as well as New Zealand’s top female surf ski paddler, previous King of the Harbour women’s champion and current World Series number 1, Katie Pocock.
