So, it's great being back in NZ!  Super Stoked to be paddling the Mini Mystic….it's fantastic having a boat that fits me perfectly.   I'm excited to take it on a serious creek but so far I've tested it out on some of the local runs…Rangitikei, Huka Falls, Wairoa, Kaituna and I found it fast, easy to boof, tracks well, responds & manoeuvres well,   the rails are definitely narrower underneath than I was used to from the Mystic & Mac but now that I'm getting used to them, it feels nice & stable.   Even loops ok in the Kaituna hole. I would definitely recommend it to any smaller paddler, especially the girlie's out there as a sweet ass boat.
Besides the everday boating, I'm not up to too much.   Started the grind of working a real job, did the Kaituna Race a couple of weeks ago, got first in the playboat race but got taken out in the long boat race and Marnie took it out..   Sam did real well, he smoked all the fellas in both races which I think is a first.
We have a long weekend coming up so we're hitting up some rivers in National park and in river valley…yeah summer!!!
