My nephew in Nelson got a sea-kyak for his birthday last week. His Dad (my brotehr), whilst showing him how to kyak properly fell out / tipped it over at Tahuna Beach in front of all my nephews school friends.He says it was on purpose, but we suspect differently.

Its good to know that parenting skills & Dads making an arse of themselves is alive and well in NZ!

They do say that the only way to truely enjoy the Abel Tasman National Park is by Kyak, with a tent on board and just camp up on the beach front camping grounds - some of which are only accessable by boat....bring it on!

cheers
