Anniversary an uplifting experience

Slightly warmer temperatures and a mirror-like surface to Lake Wanaka provided perfect conditions for Rani Sellakumaran and Elangovan Vaiyapuri, of Auckland, to soar over Roys Bay, Wanaka, to celebrate their 31st wedding anniversary on Monday.

At 276.612m, Lake Wanaka is just a little above its all-time record low of 276.26m recorded in 1935. The paragliding boat was driven by Jeno Hezinger.
