Make Arapuni weir a surfing facility

There's potential for a good wave already existing at low water flows. Please like and share to supp worth a try!
I DO NOT endorse surfing the Arapuni weir at the moment as:
1- It's now illegal - see bylaw below.
2- There's no warning of the water level rising, check the photos - its extremely dangerous at high flow! However, if this pulls off it could be awesome for:
- Kayaking
- Surfing
- SUPing
- Body boarding
- Body surfing? At this stage it'll only be surfable at mid - low flows, however with some test
Exciting phone conversation with the mayor of South Waikato. It's in their plan to look at the idea and they're going to be talking with mighty river power soon. Who knows?!....

This is a 15 to 20 minute sequence watching the waves turn from wave to death hole to wave to a death hole again. Note: This is not from a testing day, just a random event.
Thanks for your support guys, it looks like talks with the new mayor will start in the coming months after he settles into his new role.
