Flooding is a problem. What do we do, too scared to go on to lakes. Would like to travel streams to discover if anything is happening inland

A Slalom course for skiing added to Lake Rototiti as there is on Lake Okareka and the Blue lake.

Rules for efoils to be outside 200m from shore are impractical. More control than a winged foil. 5kt <200m of other craft/swimmers is OK.

All boat users should dmhave done a coastgaurd Dayskippers course. Like a license.
Many boat users at the lakes do not know the rules.

The 5 Knot zones should align with your maps/charts of such zones online. Currently they do not.
