A big thanks to Surfers NZ for putting on a great comp over the weekend. Congratulations to Poppy Arkle for winning the Open Women's and taking out the $1000 prize money. Awesome work also to Jai Wallis - 4th Open Mens, Alex Monteith - 1st Over 40 Women, Angelo Salvanda - 2nd Over 40 Men, Kyra Wallis - 1st 18 and Under Girls, Zeke Pragert - 4th 18 and Under Boys, and Lily Bradshaw - 4th in the 14 and Under Girls. Kyra also finished 2nd in the Open Women's and Poppy 3rd in the 18 and Under Girls.
We had a total of 9 finalists, but several other club members lifted their game and surfed their best ever in a competition. Thanks to everyone who came down to support.
