Venue:

Located 20mins north of Tauranga is Pahoia. Head down Pahoia Road, then turn left into Pahoia Beach Road. There is a small reserve with limited car-parking at the end. Trailer parking will be on the grass verge leading down towards the reserve. A tractor will be on site for launching. Suggest to bring either a beach trolley or anchor.

There is plenty of grassed area to set up gazebo’s etc. There is a toilet block onsite.

Timings:

Due to the tidal nature of the harbour, and the subsequent shallowness, timing is essential for this race.

· 07:30-09:00 Safety/Tech Inspection. Please be here in plenty of time to have this done. We won’t be waiting for you if you’re late. Suggest that once your ski has been inspected, it gets put in the water.

· 09:10 Riders Briefing

· 10:00 Matakana Classic Race starts.

· 10:10 TJSA Social Ride (Around Matakana) begins.

· 12:30-01:00ish Prize giving on the grassed area at the reserve

· Later: Dinner and Drinks, venue to be confirmed on the day.

Thanks to our sponsors, Action Sports Direct, Spray Technologies, Hansen Products and Prolan Lanolin Lubricants, we have a fantastic prize pool up for grabs.

From Action Sports Direct and Spray Technologies, we have $2000 towards the class prizes, and something for the overall winner!
