new community impact report has found strong support for the inaugural World Surf League Championship Tour in Whāingaroa Raglan, while highlighting opportunities to strengthen future events. Commissioned by Go Raglan with funding support from Raglan Naturally Community Trust, the report draws on feedback from 59 local businesses, 351 residents and 20 stakeholder interviews to provide a broad picture of the event’s impact on the community. Almost three-quarters of residents rated the event’s overall impact as very positive. Accommodation and hospitality businesses reported the strongest economic benefits, while stakeholders pointed to increased community pride, youth inspiration and international exposure. The research also points to areas where future events could deliver greater value, including earlier communication, stronger partnerships with mana whenua and community organisations, greater environmental leadership, and more opportunities for local businesses and residents to participate.

The findings suggest that successful major events need to balance visitor growth and economic activity with community wellbeing, environmental stewardship and the values that make Whāingaroa Raglan unique. Stakeholder interviews reinforced the potential for the WSL Championship Tour to showcase more than world-class surfing, highlighting opportunities to share the community’s culture, environmental values and collaborative spirit. Go Raglan representative Charlie Young says the findings will help inform discussions with event organisers, partners and the wider community from the early planning stages of future major events. “The learnings from this study give us a chance to build on what worked and do things even better next time. It’s an opportunity to create lasting benefits for our people and place, and make sure the community’s voice helps shape how future events are planned and delivered,” he says.

aglan surfer Alani Morse has claimed bronze at the 2026 ISA World Junior Surfing Championships in El Salvador, helping New Zealand to its best team result at the event in 16 years. Alani finished third in the Under 16 Girls Division after reaching the final at La Bocana, where she posted an 8.37-point total in difficult one-metre waves affected by onshore winds. Australian Lucy Darragh took gold, ahead of Zoe Panettiere of the USA, with Tahitian surfer Takihei Ellacott fourth. The result was New Zealand’s best individual finish at the championships in 19 years. For Alani, the medal carried added significance after the death of her grandmother two weeks before she left for El Salvador. “She was my biggest supporter and my best friend. She inspired me to chase my dreams and gave me such a drive to go as far as I could in this event. I could feel her

cheering me on this whole event,” Alani said. She said the result had yet to fully sink in after months of visualising the possibility of reaching the podium. “Honestly, I don’t think it’s gonna settle in for a few days. I’ve been mentally visualizing this moment for months, planning every step of the way from travelling to El Salvador to the closing ceremony. It’s hard not to think it’s just me daydreaming. I’ve always dreamed of being an ISA medallist, so it just doesn’t seem real yet.” Alani had earlier progressed through the semifinals alongside Ellacott, with the pair eliminating highly rated Australian Talia Tebb. She said the final did not quite unfold the way she had hoped, but she was still thrilled to make the podium. “I didn’t really get the chance to fire up in the final like my semis but I definitely believe that I was capable of getting the win through the final. At the end of the day the waves just didn’t come and it just wasn’t

in my favour. I was ok with that and I was just so freaking happy to be in the final and have a shot at the win anyway.” Her run to the final also meant missing a scheduled flight to Brazil, where she was due to compete in a QS6000 event less than 24 hours after arriving. “Of course it was extremely worth it,” Alani said. She said she was treating the trip to Brazil as part of the celebration, despite having little time to rest before competing again. “I think I’ll just be running off excitement and adrenaline for the next few days.” New Zealand finished eighth overall with 4,542 points, improving on its 10thplace finish in Peru last year and recording its best team result since the championships were held in New Zealand in 2010. Australia won the teams title ahead of the USA and Brazil. Alexis Owen was the next-best Kiwi performer, finishing 10th in the Under 18

Nearly 100 Raglan artworks in RAW Preview Exhibition next week from Raglan Arts Weekend

Artist, Jane Galloway

The 2025 RAW Preview exhibition.

Raglan Arts Weekend

ow do you get nearly 100 artworks into the Raglan Arts Centre gallery, and yet still manage to give each one space to breathe? This is the task for three wonderful wāhine every year just before the Raglan Arts Weekend – Jane Galloway, Merren Goodison, and Hayley Hamilton – and it is not an easy one!

RAW OPEN STUDIO TRAIL: Labour Weekend, 24 to 26 October 2026 PREVIEW EXHIBITION: 2 to 26 October 2026, 10am to 2pm daily (open mostly until 5pm over RAW)

The Raglan Arts Weekend is having its 16th anniversary and, every year, it adds a couple more studios to the trail. This year boasts 48 participating studios, a really incredible number for a small town clearly jam-packed with talented artists. “There is no better way to see the variety and talent on offer in Whaingaroa than by visiting RAW’s Preview Exhibition, opening next week,” says Nicky Brzeska, RAW Co-Ordinator. “We have 9 studios completely new to RAW to complement our established faves and returning RAW artists, and we’re expecting all sorts of new styles and media this year.” A huge amount of work goes into getting this exhibition up and running. Each of the 48 studios has to submit two artworks – a showcase piece at any price point, as well as a 300mm x 300mm artwork to be sold for a steal at $200. “The 300x300 format can be a challenge for our artists who are restricted by the size and format, and it’s always a pleasant surprise to see what’s produced,” says Nicky. “They are really popular and are one of our key pillars for fundraising for our event year after year.”

ALL OVER

RAGLAN

The Preview Exhibition allows visitors to plan their weekend to get the most out of RAW, and it’s a great starting point. “This RAW, you are spoilt for choice with live two-handed painting, Japanese Gyotaku fish printing, ceiling height 3D printers, stone sculpture, textiles, fine art photography, designer jewellery, graffiti art, glass art, bespoke furniture, mosaics, hat making demos, some of the country’s leading painters and multimedia artists – and more. It will pay off to do the necessary planning upfront to fit in what grabs your interest,” adds Nicky. The Preview Exhibition is made possible by a grant from the prestigious Chartwell Trust who has supported RAW and the promotion of the event since 2020.

RAW would like to thank its partners Rangitahi, Bayleys Real Estate in Raglan, the Chartwell Trust, Tony Sly, and the Raglan Country and Blues Festival. It also wants to thank the Waikato District Creative Communities for its grant as well as business advertisers who make the brochure and this event possible: Artists at Work Gallery, Sarah Bing, Palm Prints, Freedom2Fly, Helen Parsons Picture Framing and Art, Raglan Holiday Park, Groundswell, Simon Dickey, The Food Obsession, Jet.

Emerging young musos step up to the mic by Janine Jackson

ocal young musos are getting a little bit country as the Raglan Country & Blues Festival tunes up for Labour Weekend. A youth concert has been added to the line-up on Saturday, October 24, at the Harbour View Hotel, showcasing some of Raglan’s rising musical talent. Raglan Area School Year 11 student Sophie Gaustad is looking forward to taking the stage after performing with friends at a pop-up street busking performance last year. “We played outside the library and people stopped by to listen, but this year there will actually be a proper audience, so that'll be cool," she says. Sophie will perform with Emergence, a band formed at school, alongside Kaiden Rossiter on guitar and bass player Kenzie Tewhau. The trio will perform five or six classic country and blues-influenced songs, including ‘Jack and Diane’ and ‘Have You Ever Seen the Rain?’ "We've tried to pick common songs that people can sing along to," Sophie says. For the mainly self-taught guitarist, music has been a passion from an early age. “I used to play on Dad’s old guitar, which didn’t have all of its strings. I had guitar lessons when I was younger, but I didn’t like them because I just wanted to do my own thing.” These days, Sophie says Vicki Greetis and her current guitar teacher, Nathan Aish, have played an important role in her musical development.

“They’ve been inspirational mentors and have helped me so much with my music,” she says. The festival performance won’t be Sophie’s first taste of performing in front of a live audience. Last year, she and a group of friends auditioned for Rockquest, gaining valuable experience despite not making it through to the next round. “It was very hard, and we didn’t get through. Not many people did, but they gave us good feedback,” Sophie says. One of the lessons Sophie took away from judges’ feedback was the importance of stage presence. “They were looking for energy, and I think it shows experience. If you’re moving around, then you’re comfortable in what you’re doing.” For all her growing confidence as a performer, Sophie says stepping up to the microphone without a guitar feels very different. "I love singing but I feel naked without a guitar… there's nothing to hide behind." Festival coordinator and long-time local muso Dave Maybee believes it is important to foster and celebrate young, up-and-coming musicians. “Our kaupapa going forward has always been to ‘pass the torch’ of musical skills on to next generations, so there will be more songs, and musicians performing them – the youth are that vehicle.”

Emergence members Sophie Gaustad, Kaiden Rossiter and Kenzie Tewhau are ready to take the stage at the Raglan Country & Blues Festival youth concert.

t was a very special evening recently, when Kaumatua Sean Ellison blessed our new Rylock Rescue Water Crafts in a private ceremony. We recently shared with Chronicle readers our annual statistics. Raglan Volunteer Coastguard has some of the highest number of call outs in the country and these Rescue Water Crafts enable our volunteer coastguards to get to those in need of help on the water. Rylock have been partnering with us for a decade and we are so grateful for Rylock’s ongoing financial support which keeps our locals and manuhiri safe. These jet-skis (pictured) run at 100km/hr.

We would also like to acknowledge with utmost thanks the recent grant received thanks to Trust Waikato. This grant supports the major capital milestones of our new vessel. It gave our volunteer crew and shore crew buoyancy to know that Trust Waikato is with us seeing this campaign to fruition. The new vessel is essential for our community as we prepare to retire the Gallagher Rescue vessel which has been in service for 26years. We know that most of you reading this have supported our summer raffles, have Coastguard stickers in your homes, and have been observing this campaign over recent years. It’s not too late to join in.

Sun’s Out, Fleas are out!!

ith this warmer weather, you’ll notice your pets scratching more. This is the time when dormant fleas wake up! Even if you haven’t seen them crawling all through their fur, they’ve been sleeping in your carpet and furnishings all year round and will start to migrate. Some pets may even show signs of allergies from fleas, where their skin and coat will suffer. We’ve noticed our clients racing into clinic for flea treatments, but don’t forget a flea’s life cycle exists beyond your pet’s fur. Here’s some tips to keep those beasts of burden at bay: Buy a monthly, 3 monthly or 6 monthly flea treatment for your pet. Remember Cat and Dog dosing is DIFFERENT – so don’t use the same product. • All products vary in price and effectiveness, so pop into the clinic for some advice and recommendations from our lovely staff. • Some treatments include tick and lice and worm prevention also. • Products come in chewable tablets or spot-on (placed behind shoulders) • Get that vacuum out!!! Regular vacuuming will pickup flea eggs and larvae in your carpet. Make sure you get into corners and dark spots (under your sofa) • Purchase a “FLEA BOMB”, these are pet friendly if directions are followed and your house is well ventilated afterwards. We sell them in clinic. Supermarkets also but may vary in pet-friendliness. • Hot Wash your pets bedding and leave out in the sun to dry. That includes your own…cos we all know they secretly sleep in our bed too! Good Luck ! Team at Anexa

Community voices set direction for Raglan tourism and events with Go Raglan

fter more than a year of community consultation and research, a new five-year strategy sets out a shared vision for tourism and events in Whāingaroa Raglan. The Go Raglan Tourism and Events Strategy 2026–2031 has been developed by the Whāingaroa Raglan Destination Management Organisation (WRDMO), in partnership with Raglan Naturally Community Trust and the wider community. It considers how tourism and events can contribute to Whāingaroa while responding to the pressures and opportunities that come with being a well-known visitor destination. “Tourism is already part of Raglan and it brings real benefits to our businesses and community,” says Go Raglan representative Charlie Young. “This strategy gives us a way to look beyond visitor numbers and ask what tourism contributes to local livelihoods, the environment, the visitor experience and the wellbeing of the people who live here.” The strategy was informed by 278 responses to the Your Voice Matters survey, along with pop-up consultation sessions, workshops, hui, workforce research and conversations with businesses and community organisations. Independent research by the University of Waikato Management School also gathered 511 face-to-face visitor questionnaires and 30 interviews. Community feedback showed support for tourism and events that strengthen local businesses and employment while reflecting Raglan’s environmental and community values. People wanted more opportunities for rangatahi, stronger support for locally owned businesses and more activity outside the busy summer period. They also wanted better visitor information, local storytelling, respectful behaviour and events that suit Raglan’s character and capacity. The strategy is built around four pou: He Ohanga Hapori – Local Livelihoods, Kaitiakitanga – Environment, Manaakitanga – Visitor Experience and He Ora Hapori – Community Wellbeing. Together, the pou provide a framework for considering the wider effects of future decisions. An event might bring income into the town, for example, but its impacts on residents,

HE WHENUA, HE TAIAO, HE TANGATA Our place, our environment, our people

Shaping Whāingaroa Raglan together through community-led tourism

infrastructure, the environment and visitors should also be considered. Whaingaroa ward councillor Lisa Thomson says having a community-led strategy will help connect conversations about tourism with the wider needs of Whāingaroa. “Tourism touches many of the issues our community regularly raises, from infrastructure and transport to employment, housing and environmental care,” she says. “Having a locally developed strategy gives us a clearer picture of what the community values and stronger evidence when we advocate for investment and work with council and other agencies.” Some of that work is already underway through Go Raglan Jobs, the Go Raglan Accommodation pilot and local economic and event impact reporting. Other proposed actions include supporting communityled and shoulder-season events, promoting local products and experiences, improving walking, cycling and visitor information, strengthening low-waste event practices and developing employment and training pathways for rangatahi and hapū. The strategy also calls for continued community sentiment research, monitoring of tourism impacts and regular public reporting over the next five years.

Big waves bring top honours for local surfer by Janine Jackson

ocal surfer Tom Lowe has taken out the prestigious Surfer of the Year title at the international Big Wave Challenge awards in Los Angeles. The award recognises bigwave surfers from around the world, with Tom receiving the top title after a remarkable year that has seen him return to the water following serious injury. The win comes just over a year after Tom suffered severe head trauma in a wipeout at Teahupo'o in Tahiti, and three years after another serious wipeout at the same break. His return to big-wave surfing was described as the ‘comeback of a lifetime’ after he paddled into a giant barrel

at Mullaghmore in Ireland just six months after his 2025 accident. The ride came during one of the winter’s biggest swells and was particularly significant because the conditions had previously been considered suitable only for tow-in surfing. Tom’s Mullaghmore ride was also named as one of three finalists for Ride of the Year at the awards. Originally from Britain, Tom is a familiar face around Raglan, where he keeps a low profile despite his international big-wave reputation and rarely seeks the limelight. Tom was a finalist for Surfer of the Year alongside South Africa’s Grant “Twig” Baker and American Mason Hyce Barnes.

Meet Devon Adams: Rising to the Challenge on the Skateboard Jacqui Kay chats to Devon Adams

ifteen-year-old Devon Adams, a student at Hamilton Boys’ High School, has plenty to celebrate after taking out his division at this year’s Secondary Schools Skate Competitions. Held each September at Son Sk8 Indoor Skatepark in Glen Innes, Auckland, the competition brings together young skaters from across the country. Devon competed in the event last year but didn’t make it through to the finals. This year, he came back determined and went one step further, winning his division. Alongside

the excitement of competing, Devon says one of the best parts was simply having fun and skating with his friends. We caught up with Devon to find out more about his skating journey, the competition, and what it was like to take home the win. When did you start skating and when did you start competing? I started skating when I was six years old, when my uncle gave me my first skateboard. I’ve been skating ever since. I think my first competition was at Katikati when I was around 9 or 10 years old. I remember I was versing guys who were a lot older than me but I didn’t care, I just wanted to skate.

What do you enjoy about the sport? I think what I love most about skateboarding is that you can be really creative, and there's almost no rules. Also I love the challenge of learning new tricks and the feeling when you finally land it. I also love how I get to make heaps of new friends from different places across New Zealand because of skateboarding. Who has supported you through the training process? I’m also lucky to have great support from my Mum and Dad, who are always happy to drive me to skateparks and competitions. My sponsors Wrong Skate Shop & Go Green Solar NZ have been supporting me with gear

and getting me ready before my comps which I'm really grateful for. Has it been a benefit growing up in Whaingaroa and having access to the skatepark? Growing up in Whaingaroa has been great. The skate bowl is getting pretty old and tired now, though, so hopefully one day we will get a new one — hint, hint! Where to from skateboarding journey?

My main goal for my future is to become a professional skateboarder. I'd love to be travelling the world with friends, and being free skateboarding.

Year 10 Hillary Outdoor Pursuits and Snow Camp By Riley Bell

n the 24th of August, the entirety of Year 10 was granted an amazing opportunity. For one whole week we stayed at the Hillary Outdoor Pursuits Centre for our Year 10 camp; something that had never happened before. At the centre, we participated in many new and exciting activities that brought us well out of our comfort zones in the best of ways. We did high ropes, low ropes, abseiling, and hiking, and played many other games that taught us important skills.

On Wednesday, we went to the Whakapapa ski field and spent the day learning how to ski and snowboard, which, for many, was their first time touching snow. Ayse said her favourite part was the abseiling because "it was super fun and at first very scary going over the edge, but after that, it was amazing looking at the view." All of us had the time of our lives." We are so grateful to a local Philanthropist who has made this all possible!

First Runs, Hot Chocolate, and Unforgettable Memories: Raglan Area School’s Senior Snow Camp

n August 25th, a crew of Year 11–13 Raglan Area School students traded the coast for the mountain, embarking on the eagerly anticipated annual Senior Snow Camp trip to Whakapapa. The adventure kicked off in the quiet early hours with a 3:00 a.m. meeting at school. Once the bus and van were packed to the brim with gear, warm layers, and high spirits, the team made the journey toward Mt Ruapehu for three action-packed days on the snow. From clipping in for the very first run of the morning to carving down the last bit of snow as the lifts closed. Friends rallied together on the slopes,

cheering each other on through fresh turns, catching key moments from the chairlifts, gondolas, and T-bars, and soaking up every opportunity the mountain offered. After a full day of carving up the mountain, the crew hauled their gear and food up to the lodge that served as home base for the next two nights. Once the winter boots came off, evenings shifted to cozy cabin energy—unwinding, hot drinks, cards and games, and non-stop chatter replaying the best falls and finest runs of the day. Combining high-energy riding with lodge whanaungatanga, this year's snow trip was an absolute blast and remains a highlight on the senior school calendar.

Raglan Area School Year 5&6 Netball Team Our Year 5&6 Netball team had an extraordinary season filled with skill development, fantastic teamwork, and non-stop energy on the court. Every player gave it their all each week, showing impressive determination and great sportsmanship throughout the competition! We would like to take this opportunity to thank the whanau for their support and the coach and manager for their extra mahi. We appreciate you.

District-Wide CCTV Network Now Operational from Waikato District Council

fter years of district-wide planning and design, our closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera network is complete and operational, helping to improve public safety and support Police investigations. A significant portion of the project funding was secured through the Better Off Funding programme, a central government financial support package designed to help local authorities invest in community wellbeing and infrastructure. Determining locations for the 15 cameras involved an extensive consultation process. Elected members, community representatives, iwi, and Police all contributed to identifying the most suitable sites. This collaborative approach helped ensure the cameras were positioned to maximise coverage of higher-risk areas, while maintaining privacy considerations for residents. The network also incorporates number plate recognition technology, which means vehicles can be identified and tracked as they travel through the district. The system has already demonstrated its value in supporting Police with their enquiries and investigations.

To ensure strict compliance with privacy legislation, the CCTV network is managed through a centralised server, and access is restricted to a small number of authorised staff. Waikato district’s CCTV network is an important investment in community safety and provides Police with an additional tool to help prevent, deter, and investigate crime. As further funding becomes available, the network is expected to expand, with additional cameras installed across the district. The cameras are currently located in: Pookeno (3) Tuakau (1) Meremere (1) Te Kauwhata (2) Huntly (2) Naaruaaahia (2) Te Kowhai (1) Raglan (2) Taupiri (1)

Pump Track back open after renewal works from Waikato District Council

aglan's much-loved Papahua Pump Track at Raglan Domain is open again, following renewal works to fix long-standing cracking and ground subsidence at the popular spot. First built in 2017, the pump track has become a firm favourite with riders of all ages, from local kids learning the basics to more experienced riders. Over the past few years recurring cracking and subsidence in the track surface meant patch repairs were no longer keeping pace with the underlying ground movement. Waikato District Council engaged a contractor to carry out a full renewal, addressing the root cause of the problem rather than patching over it again. The works were designed

as a like-for-like restoration, keeping the track's original layout, features and character, while fixing what was failing underneath. The pump track is one of Council’s most popular recreational attractions in Raglan. It supports active, outdoor play for local families and visitors alike. Renewing it properly — rather than continuing short-term patch repairs — protects Council's investment and means the track should give the community many more years of reliable use with less ongoing maintenance. The renewal included ground stabilisation and foundation repairs, section repairs of the perimeter curbing around the track, resurfacing of the riding surface with concrete, and new subsoil drainage and catchpits to manage stormwater.

Greenslade Road playground officially opens A

new playground at Greenslade Road in Raglan is now open, adding a simple outdoor play space designed to sit comfortably within the area’s natural surroundings. The playground includes two swings, a basket swing and a 25-metre flying fox, along with seating and a new boardwalk connecting the site to the existing path. Work began earlier this year following a blessing at the site, with the design focused on providing play equipment without overwhelming the open character of the reserve. The completed playground now gives local families another place to stop, play and spend time outdoors, while improving pedestrian access through the area. The project was originally expected to be completed in early July and is now officially open for use.

Deep Dive Into Our Waterways

Join the movement!

#ReusableRaglan

From Whāingaroa Environment Centre There’s a whole world beneath the surface that most of us never get to see. At Science Night #35, Tua and Courtney Karalus will share how their Waikato-based company, Deep Dive Division, uses divers and technology to explore it. The husband and wife team founded Deep Dive Division in 2018. Tua brings more than 25 years of commercial and scientific diving experience and a background in environmental science, while Courtney leads the company’s commercial strategy, partnerships and growth. Since then, Deep Dive Division has grown beyond traditional commercial diving into a specialist team combining robotics, surveying and advanced underwater data collection with the experience of its divers. Its tools include remotely operated vehicles, autonomous underwater and surface vehicles, sonar and 3D imaging. They help the team make underwater environments visible and turn what it finds into useful information. The company’s work spans water and marine infrastructure, environmental monitoring, biosecurity, underwater surveys, salvage and restoration. Closer to home, the team has surveyed and removed vehicles and hazardous debris from the Waikato River as part of its commitment to protecting and restoring the wai.

Create Summer Abundance with XZW’s Compost sale! From Liz Stanway & Emma Simpson @ Xtreme Zero Waste It’s the perfect time for thinking about manifesting homegrown kai into your life. If you’ve been dreaming of feeding the whānau with more nutritious, straight-from-the-garden produce now is the time for action … nothing tastes better and think how much you'll save on the supermarket bill! Imagine freshly dug new potatoes before Christmas, your very own kumara, pumpkins, peas (sugar snap and shell-out), cherry tomatoes for the kids' lunchboxes, strawberries, crunchy cos lettuce, peppers, melons, cucumbers … Whaingaroa has a great climate for growing all of these. But the secret to success and serious flavour is healthy soil teeming with microbial life. A good compost will help boost your soil. XZW composts are made with all local ingredients and no additives. At the Organics Yard we follow a carefully managed composting process — no fertilisers, lime, sheep/chook manure or added microbes needed. The natural process does it all. Starting new beds or rebuilding old ones? Carbon Compost makes a great base — bulk and slow-release nutrients in one. Made over 12 months from Raglan's green waste, hot-processed into a weed-free 'vegan compost' (no food scraps- just a few gazillion microbes). Want to refresh your existing beds? Superfood Compost is rich, dark, and full of plant nutrients. Made from food scraps collected weekly from around Raglan. Cheers to everyone putting out their green bins! Get a few centimetres onto your beds now, lightly fork it in, and by mid-October you'll be ready to plant all your summer veggies. One tractor scoop will cover around 16m² of garden bed. One thing to note — don't plant directly into 100% Superfood Compost. It's too rich and your seedlings will get spindly. If you want to plant directly and you’re in a hurry, grab some bags of Garden Mix from the XZW Main Yard. For the next six weeks, we've slashed the price of bulk Carbon and Superfood Compost. Come up for a trailer fill Tuesday to Friday, 12.30–3.30pm, or book a truckload delivered to your door. Book via the XZW website or pay cash through Kaahu's Nest. New product coming very soon … XZW Seed Raising Mix.

The Many Faces of XZW We're blessed with an absolute pick-n-mix of personalities, and it's time we shone a light on one of the most consistent, efficient and loyal pillars of XZW - Karen. It’s hard to capture in words the level of detail, planning and logistics that is needed to keep our (delightfully) multifaceted organisation running smoothly and safely, which Karen champions every single day. She is the literal glue that holds us together and upright, which we are immensely grateful for. She’s also the sole curator of our exceptionally well organised library and the legend who deals with all the logistics behind our raft race, wrangling rafts and rules for the chaotic fun to be safe for all. Every team needs a Karen. And boy, do we love ours.
