Race 3 of the Pita Pit Winter Race Series

Mairangi Bay hosted race three of the Pita Pit Winter Race Series yesterday in very brisk conditions.  The Westerly wind made for a very flat course which ended up being a 5km loop from Mairangi Bay Beach to Kennedy Point and Back.  45 paddlers lined up for the start at 3.30 and both the SUP and surf ski field enjoyed a good hard race, with many rosy checks across the finish line.
