Trans-Tasman kayak trip abandoned December 06, 2006

The trans-Tasman journey has been unsuccessfully attempted twice by other kayakers.

'Crazy night' for kayak adventurers December 19, 2007
A "crazy, horrible night" is how one of two Australian kayakers has described the hours they spent floundering in the Tasman Sea while powerful waves and 30-knot winds hammered their disabled kayak.
See Slideshow: Kayak across the Tasman
The Sydney Morning Herald http://www.smh.com.au/news/world/crazy-night-for-kayak-adventurers/2007/12/19/1197740362303.html
…hope theirs will be the first successful attempt by kayakers to cross the Tasman Sea after a series of failed bids.
The most tragic bid occurred in February, when 39-year-old Australian Andrew McAuley died.

Surf skier Paul Wilford loves wild weather Campbell Live 12 Aug 2008See video footage: www.3news.co.nz/TVShows/CampbellLive/VideoArchive/tabid/67/
• While most of us spend the winter months trying to stay as warm and dry as humanly possible, others are champing at the bit to get their outdoor fix.
• For surf ski rider Paul Wilford his motto is rather simple: the wilder the weather, the better.
• And he insists that despite a number of paddlers getting into trouble recently, the sport is safe, and paddlers know what they are doing.
• Paul lives in Auckland, the perfect play ground for water lovers; he goes out training most days.
• So we jumped on a boat this morning to put Paul through his paces.• We were driving at eight and a half knots, which is about 16 kilometres an hour. And
Paul was keeping up no probs.• Paul is one of a few kiwis who travel the surf-ski circuit, but the local scene is getting
bigger as the boats become more affordable. • His 17 kilo kayak cost him $2500.• On a calm day, it is rather mesmerising watching Paul glide through the water. He
makes it look easy, graceful even.• But for Paul this is boring. He is one of the few people who believe the stormier the
weather the better. He will deliberately go to sea in the worst possible conditions. • The serious dangers of this sport were brought home last month when Bay of Plenty
canoeist James Moore, also an extreme weather canoeist, lost his life in some of this winters worst storms.
• Paul heads to Perth in January to compete in the Surf Ski World Cup.
