On 21.11.2020, a group of four paddlers including myself had a short day trip out to Tokapapa reef and back, with the intention of stretching our limits and imporoving our paddling skills in challenging conditions. Said conditions were wind gusts of over 20 knots, and swells of 1.5m at times.

The boat is a QK tasman express, Kevlar layup, with a carbon fibre wing paddle with crank shaft, and filmed on two different GoPro Hero 4 cameras.
