2014 Auckland on Water Boat Show- Coming up at the end of September

by Emma Crofskey on 9 Sep 2014 The Auckland On Water Boat Show is coming up at the end of this month, from the 25th to the 28th of September.

At the show we'll have:

• A Guinness World Record attempt for the most people ever on a stand up paddleboard. On Saturday 27, we're hoping for 52 people onboard a SUP led by Quiksilver team member, Troy Huston. The world record attempt will be raising money for the Child Cancer Foundation, and will be played out in front of the crowds in the Viaduct Harbour - and if they fall off we'll make them turn around and do it again.

• Riviera will have $10,500,000 dollars-worth of boats on the water at the show. It would be amazing to get you onboard some of these boats and show you around.

• NZ Maritime history will be on display at the show with Steinlager II - the only yacht to have ever won all six legs of the Whitbread Round the World race - Andrew Fagan's Swirly World in Perpetuity - which set the record for the smallest boat to have ever crossed the Tasman - and star of South Seas Vagabond, Ngataki all on site to explore.

• We'll have a new partnership between Stabicraft, Sealegs and Yamaha which has produced a tough, amphibious vehicle which is powerful, easy to maneuver and walks as well as it swims.

• Speak with experts from over 200 exhibiting organisations with a vast array of marine products and services – everything from great fishing equipment, outboards and inboards, kayaks, paddle-boards, solar technology, electronics, navigation, safety devices, specialist marine services and much more. Ask all your questions and share your passion for all things ‘on-water’.
