Urenui one day Uplifting

[TaranakiJBNZ]

Woohoo… the Taranaki JBNZ Committee has obtained a temporary uplifting for this river on Saturday the 9th of July. We believe this to be the first time it can be legally boated. The plan is to push up as far as we can go, until we are stopped by logs, a low bridge or some other obstacle. The uplifting allows for up to 25 km of boating, but conditions on the day will determine how far we get. This looks like a great river for smaller boats, but don't be put off by that, we will boat as far as each boater is comfortable.  We thank Maritime NZ for granting us this temporary uplifting, there are strict rules for this river run.

• JBNZ members only
• Boats need to meet the "Safe boating check list"
• Limited number of boats

Please, you must register your interest

Great to hear a few Waikato boats are coming down to receive a driving lesson from the Naki lads.

By the talk of some of the tree hugging outboard driving locals you better bring your flack jacket and bullet proof engine cover

Always someone having a winge ay. Look at the damage a big flood does to the river banks of the Urenui. A few jetboats arent going to do anything.

Was some excellent boating once the big tubs got out of the way.

Was a great day out. 16 boats of all shapes and sizes turned up. 
Some of the bigger boats found the creek a little tight.

I've boated rock gardens and log jams but this was the first time I've boated crashed through a scrap metal yard!

Could everyone please note as this photo finish shows, the Northern District Lad in the narrow gutted Suzuki boat got further than anyone else.
