"PADDLING PLEASURES"

There is more real pleasure out of paddling when your heart is truly into the art of paddling.
But it is a pleasure which is confined strictly to people who can find pleasure in it.Comment by Jeff Coleman

Our mission is to set up a dedicated team of kayakers who can sell kayaks to kayakers, It sounds reasonably normal, but all this is done out in the field at the river and while having fun all at the same time, We urge our Agents just the one request....and that is to go paddling and have fun in our boats. What better way to pay for your very own kayaking habit. This new sales method not only has benefits for our agents but adds a more personalised touch directly with the kayakers and enables us to offer a respectful pricing structure directly to the paddling community.""Spread the word"

Maori Culture, "Some Brief History"

The Māori people are the indigenous people of Aotearoa (New Zealand) and first arrived here in waka hourua (voyaging canoes) from their ancestral homeland of Hawaiki over 1000 years ago. Today, Māori make up over 14 percent of the population. Their language and culture has a major impact on all facets of New Zealand life.
Māori is an oral culture rich with stories and legends. The Māori creation story describes the world being formed by the violent separation of Ranginui, the Sky Father, and Papatuanuku, the Earth Mother, by their children. Many Māori carvings and artworks graphically depict this struggle.
Being a tribal Polynesian people, Māori have a unique protocol. The best place to observe it is on a marae (Māori meeting grounds). Many tourist operators in New Zealand organise visits to marae.
A powhiri (formal welcome) at a marae begins with wero (challenge) A warrior from the tangata whenua (hosts) will challenge the manuhiri (guests). He may carry a spear (taiaha) then lay down a token (often a small branch) that the manuhiri will pick up to show they come in peace. Some kuia (women) from the tangata whenua (hosts) will perform a karanga (call/chant) to the manuhiri. Women from the manuhiri will then respond as they move onto the marae in front of their men.

video...................................BLISS-STICK...................................... LIKE ALWAYS THEIR CREATING NEW AND BETTER INNOVATIONS, AS WE SLEEP THEY ARE BUILDING THE NEXT GENERATIONS TO COME... .........."WOW"...WE HAVE A NEW PLAY BOAT COMING OUR WAY!........... for more updates you can check out WakaWai bliss-stick Designed by Richard Sage from Bliss-stick and shaped into Production by Matt McCrossan, along with a vast crew who have worked hard behind the scenes producing this new innovative Playboat. The Smoothy is our answer to the Specialist 6'0 that we intended on doing, but as the new boat took its shape , it ended up having a whole new meaning to what we were doing, so the new Smoothy is far from the features of the wicked little Specialist 5'9. The biggest attack was in the hull which is comparable to the Superrad 180 in width but is longer in length and with more tail rocker, the overall boat is 6'1 which lands it right smack in the middle of the Rad 180 and Rad 185 length. The nose is where the name Smoothy originates, with nice clean and simple lines. The tail has been nipped in the bud in width.... So really the whole Smoothy is like nothing we have made before, it is a playboat of its own right, and we know that its going to fit and perform to a vast range of paddler sizes, with its near 200 ltr (52 gal )capacity. The cockpit rim has been lifted to allow for thighbrace comfort and extra leg room, but this extra volume will also act as a built in Freestyle beach ball, for making the huge pops and looping moves. The New Smoothy is only being offered in its own flavour of selected colors ... what will your flavour be? ..... Apple, Bannana, Orange, Strawberry, Blueberry or Raspberry this new color range is made with a white base and the flavour is flecked in ... giving a natural looking, asceticly pleasing, ass kicking kayak.
