It is important to firstly recognise all the entrants, you were all a great bunch of kids!! It was fantastic to see you all embrace the Tri Series event with such enthusiasm and many of you had excellent performances you should be proud of.

We were blessed by good surf and an excellent team of organisers. Thanks go out to the parents, teachers and volunteers (many of whom didn't have their kids involved). Thanks to the three Boardrider Clubs (Piha/Wildcoast, Maori Bay and Christian Boardriders for their facilities and resources. Finally, thanks to Quiksilver and our other sponsors.
