Wellington Wild Wind, Otaki Beach
Held most years, in early February.

Otaki is the nearest beach to Wgtn with the perfect mix of all the necessary components- good beach, motor camp, surf club, picnic area, swimming, good weather, etc. The tournament is two-day, hat teams, and with activities on both days, including a freestyling competition.

Both lunches, and the Saturday evening BBQ meal (which caters to various dietary preferences), are provided by the excellent cook, a noted feature.

There are prizes for the winning team, for MVPs, for best costume at the Saturday night party, and of course for the most important component, Spirit winners.
