For round 2 of the South Island Island Winter Series we had another fantastic turn out. With around 40 skis in total racing at Lake Hood it was a very exciting round to watch from the audience perspective…. Results online now …
With a new class added to the pole-ski race, Pole-ski teams; meaning a rider swap after each lap, this was great fun to watch the rider change-over and how much harder they had to work to keep up, one interesting point of this race is most of the riders were actually runabout riders.
.Again, Steve Amende (Dunedin) taking out first place in the Pole-Open Class and Chris Kennedy (Christchurch) in the Pole-750. We still aren’t sure which of the Pole-Teams teams come out on top and I am sure I saw riders from each teams riding on the other teams ski, fun was the winner of the day for this class!
.
This round attracted a few more run about riders that didn’t compete in the first round, including Keegan Harper from Christchurch racing his modified Yamaha FZR who managed to take out first place in both races in the Run About Open, followed by Phil Barrett (Blenheim) on his Kawasaki 300x who is still holding onto the championship!
.
Simon Wheeler from Queenstown piloting his Kawasaki 15f had another great ride and managed to get to first in the Run About N/A class, in front of Peter Scott (Dunedin) riding his Yamaha VXR who took line honors in Waihola. This puts Wheeler out front for the series.
.
I would also like to say, again it was awesome seeing the Wave Raider of Rick Pengelly out on the water again battling the chop of the big skis, and Nicole Meyer showing that it’s not just a male sport and there is room for females out on the water, congrats Nicloe.
.
Round three is approaching fast, which will see the competitors battle it out in the surf at Caroline Bay, Timaru on the 30th of July!
