Snapper Classic is back and better than ever
Toby Wild from Moana NZ SUP paddles past Fifeshire Rock. Stand up paddle boarding is New Zealand’s fastest growing water sport and Nelson is no exception. Five years ago, paddle boarding was non-existent in Nelson, but today it’s almost impossible to drive past Tahunanui Beach without seeing someone up on a board. With plenty of great spots for paddling around the region, people are making the most of Nelson’s great weather and ideal paddle boarding conditions.

Grab your fishing rods and load up the boat because the Tasman Bay Snapper Classic is back once again for 2016 and is set to be bigger and better than ever before. Unlike other years in which the event was run as a business house and club competition, 2016 will be welcoming anyone and everyone to make a team of four and head out on the water, with all proceeds from the Snapper Classic going towards Coastguard Nelson. The Tasman Bay Snapper Classic may not be until Saturday, February 20, but organisers are putting the word out early, giving fishermen and women the chance to get their prime spot sorted for the big day.
Fishing starts at 5am and is confined to the Tasman Bay. Wrapping up at 5pm, everyone is welcome to Speights Ale House where competition entrants will receive a free meal. Everyone is encouraged to donate some of their catch to the fish auction, which will be open to the general public. And, if you manage to catch the average weight snapper, you’ll walk away with a prize pack worth $8000, including a DNA boat with a Honda Marine 4 stroke outboard on a trailer, thanks to sponsors DNA Alloy Boats and Honda Marine.
