National prospects good for Northland surf team

 

 

The Northland Secondary School Surfing team heads to Gisborne on October 6 for the week-long National Champs.

The competition is contested by 12 regions across New Zealand and last year Northland placed a very credible fourth.

The team was selected after a series of three competitions held earlier in the year to determine the Northland Age Group Secondary School Champions.

Over 100 surfers competed for the titles and chance to make the team.

Selector/coach Jaimie Scott named the following surfers to represent Northland: U18 Boys – Tom Norton (Bream Bay College), Joseph Critchfield (Rodney College), Kalani Hansen (Kaitaia College); U18 Girls – Billie Scott (Whangarei Girls High School); U16 Boys – Max Brunker, Oscar Harper (Whangarei Boys High School), Tom Parker (Huanui College); U16 Girls – Grace Pevats (Whangarei Girls High School); U14 Boys – Tom Robinson (Whangarei Boys High School), Jacob Buckle (Huanui College); U14 Girls – Ely Backhouse (Bream Bay College); Longboard – Bassie Waldron (Rodney College); Travelling Reserve – Cory Vercoe (Rodney College).

The respective Northland Champions for 2017 were Tom Norton, Billie Scott, Max Brunker, Grace Pevats, Tom Robinson and Ely Backhouse.

Manager Mark Pevats said that he considered Northland had a very strong team this year with excellent prospects of improving on last year.

“A feature of the team was that, for the first time, the region is represented in every division which should help in the quest for points. Plus we have a number of surfers who have competed credibly during the year at Surfing New Zealand sanctioned events.”

Despite the lack of surf lately for the team to practice in, the members have been training hard with sessions in the gym under the instructions of Marcia Aperahama from Northtec.
