Dragonboat regatta action

The Tutukaka Mid-Winter Festival has had a range of fun events throughout August, with the festival wrapping up on September 5 with the Poor Knights Crossing race, NZ’s toughest open ocean downwind paddling event with 30km of open ocean paddling that will test the abilities of the best open ocean athletes. But on Saturday there was the ADBA Tutukaka Dragonboat Regatta — Super 10 and yesterday the Ray White Raft Race. Northern Advocate photographer John Stone went along both days to capture the action.
