10 Things New Zealanders Do Waiting For America's Cup

On the West Coast, there are thousands of sailing fans changing their flights and re-purposing dirty clothes, all sitting around waiting to for the conclusion of the America’s Cup. After 13 days of racing for a trophy in a rich white man’s sport, the race has been delayed due to lack of wind (or too much wind), leaving lots of Kiwis with time to burn. In an event that seemed like a “slam dunk”, its taken way too long to acquire the prize, and the madness needs to end. What are thousands of Kiwis to do with all this lost time? Here’s how they've made San Fransisco their home while waiting for this damn thing to be over and the cup to be theirs.
