This flag is inspired by 2 things the color is supporting the All Blacks and the Anchor is showing Auckland because Auckland has the most boats in the world.
What a cool looking flag! You have created a very eye catching design that includes colours and shapes that are distinctly 'kiwi.' I particularly like the use of white and black to represent the All Blacks and the inclusion of the anchor. Given that we live in the 'City of Sails' (Auckland) it is a good idea to pay tribute to boats of all kinds.
Speaking of boats, have you ever been on a boat? The only boats that I have ever ridden on are ferries and canoes. Canoes look quite a bit like wakas but they are much smaller and fit 2-3 people (max). I used to go canoeing a lot when I was a little girl growing up in Canada. Have you ever seen a canoe? If not, here is a link to a blog about canoes: http://paddlesail.blogspot.co.nz/2010/08/four-aces-unbeatable-chestnut-wood.html
