PULTRON 2000 WINDSURFING
Hundreds of spectators watched this annual competition which attracted some of New Zealands top windsurfers. The course, set off Kaiti Beach, took advantage of the predicted cyclonic winds ensuring races to be a good test of rider and equipment. Less wind on day 2 proved that consistency in each race was essential to win.
