windsurfing for all "its going to be a hot summer"
PACIFIC FLEET WINDSURFING.
Although our directive is to cater to any and all who wish to take up the sport of windsurfing, our primary focus is to encourage and support any Māori and Pacifica kids into the sport, who would not normally be encouraged into this adrenaline extreme sport. I believe after more than 30 years of windsurfing myself that the benefits of windsurfing combat mental health through stress release and the feeling of being Intune with nature has always made me wish I had been introduced to this sport in my young troubled years. At the time no one was offering to guide pacific and Māori youth into windsurfing, it was seen as an elitist sport, and a financial burden, we intend to take that burden away as much as possible through supplying equipment from beginner through to intermediate, until participants are old enough to know which direction they would be willing to take in this sport if it is their desire to continue, and with our help guide and direct them should they wish to pursue the Olympic dream. For information on joining contact robdinks@gmail.com and look at the Facebook page of PACIFIC FLEET WINDSURFING.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated

After ten years of depression, my life had hit rock bottom
I remember being ‘different’ around food for most of my life. This included things such as being the person who had two cream buns at morning tea when everyone else had one; eating icing sugar by the spoonful directly from the packet; and being the family member who went into the kitchen after dinner to eat the leftovers. There are numerous other examples – too many to list. I could overeat anything. If I couldn’t get my preferred favourites (e.g. chocolate), I’d be eating the vegetables.
