Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that doesn’t justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like a hippo
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how's it going?

That's the more extreme end of the spectrum, we were paddling in much calmer conditions. Mostly just noseying around the rocks. And yes, we were surfing in sea kayaks, it's a slightly different game to board surfing as we're catching waves much further out than the other surfers, and ideally peeling off before they actually curl over and break. We had a competition, which I actually came third in.

I think that's the inside of my pocket, I didn't notice that photo was in there.

Congrats on third place! That's so cool, sounds like a lot of fun!

Haha, it looks a lot like a photo taken pointing down into the water!
