just an observation, but as i understand nz records can only be set at nats or nzaca postal events and certain requirements must be adhered to. i can only go on what i've seen, no kick board of regulation size and length and also a certified surveyer with a registered and certified measuring device are just a couple of requirements. I read with interest that previous events are backdated to be sanctioned officially by nzaca. Interesting i thought, as i see claims for nz distance records are perhaps premature at this stage. awesome casts without a doubt. i would think not recognized officially until they have met all criteria not just some?
