Tough call, but I agree it's the right call.

Weather is troughing out at a rapid pace, and even if there is a seabreeze, it looks like it will be really mild (8-12 knots), and the seabreeze line may drift on/offshore (i.e. SW at Rotto, E at Leighton)

Hope those that travelled here special for the event still manage to have a great time.

Cheers to all those who have shuffled their time around to put the event on and look like they'll be shuffling it around in a few weeks.

Best possible outcome when we are just at mercy to the weather. I didnt get a spot but for those guys who did, be patient. The WAKSA guys now have to do even more work to keep up the stoke. The other outcome was a $150 trip to rotto, one way!!! as I dont think the ferrries are gonna give WAKSA their money back either.
GO JUDDY!

Yep it's not just the people who travelled here who have been out, it's all the countless hours by many people plus expenses incurred
And it all has to be done again
