From Toi Moana Bay of Plenty Regional Council -No excuse for paddleboarders with no lifejacket, instant $200 Fine!!

We Don't Agree:

Stand up paddleboarding has exploded across New Zealand for good reason. It is accessible, low barrier, and puts people straight onto the water without fuss. But as regulations tighten, there is a growing disconnect between regulators and real-world use. From our position, a stand-up paddleboard with a properly used leg rope already provides a high level of safety in most conditions. Treating every paddler the same, regardless of environment, experience, or setup misses how these boards are actually used.

Sure, there are situations where a PFD makes sense. Open water crossings, exposed coastlines, downwind events, rivers with current. No argument there. But take that same rule and apply it to someone surfing a paddleboard in waves and it starts to fall apart. A lifejacket in surf can restrict movement, affect balance, and in some cases create more risk when you are dealing with waves, wipeouts, diving under waves with a PFD does not work . One-size-fits-all regulation sounds neat on paper, but on the water, it can push people into setups that are not always the safest option.

⭐Luke Harrold achieves FIS World Cup Freeski Halfpipe win, and his first world cup victory, in Silvaplana
⭐Finley Melville Ives claims 2026 Men’s Freeski Halfpipe Globe in historic first for New Zealand
⭐Mischa Thomas delivers inaugural FIS World Cup Freeski Halfpipe podium, claiming a second place in her rookie season

New Zealand now ranked third in the world in Freeski Park and Pipe Nation’s Cup standings, behind USA and Canada

Men’s Freeski Halfpipe World Champion Finley Melville Ives has claimed overnight the Freeski Halfpipe Globe with 280 World Cup points, despite not even competing in the final event of the season.

Melville-Ives has been grounded since breaking his collarbone in Milano Cortina, however his points total up to that time, from two victories and a second place finish across three World Cup starts, were sufficient to hold onto the top spot.

Nineteen-year-old Melville Ives has now made history becoming the first New Zealander to win the Freeski Halfpipe Crystal Globe with a dominant campaign that unfortunately, due to a fall, was not capped with an Olympic medal.

Ben Richards (Wānaka, 26) has dominated in this year’s Freeride World Tour, securing another win in the overnight finals to come away as the overall Men’s Ski champion for 2026.

The kiwi delivered an unstintingly confident performance on the Bec des Rosses face in Verbier, executing a perfect 360 and linking multiple sections of difficult terrain seamlessly to showcase speed and freestyle elements. He was awarded a huge 96 points and surged into the lead above tour leader Toby Rafford (second, USA) and Tiemo Rolshoven (third, Germany). That score was enough to push him ahead of Rafford in the overall tour standings to make him the ski men’s season winner. Full story at www.adventuremagazine.co.nz and www.skiandsnow.co.nz
