Gisborne Scholastics Coach and selector Jay Quinn was positive about the calibre of the competitors entering the Gisborne Regional Trials held last Friday although there were smaller entries than recent years. The 2010 Regional Trials were held at Red Bus, Makorori, in small clean conditions.
The impact of the alteration of the Surfing New Zealand competition calendar for 2010 has meant the National Scholastics will be held in October instead of the normal April event. Several local surfers have declared themselves unavailable for the team this year, and national rules mean that surfers who attend school out of Gisborne have to compete for that region and not their home town.
A squad of sixteen surfers has been named, they will train and prepare for the final team selection of 12 surfers under the guidance of Coach Quinn, assisted by local teachers Nick Chapman and Jason Green while Quinn fulfils his own surfing commitments overseas.
The national event will be held here in Gisborne 4th to 8th October 2010.
Local selection criteria states that the team will be selected from the squad and will depend on performance and attendance at squad training, results from local and national comps, fitness and aptitude.
The National Secondary Schools event to be held in Raglan and hosted by Raglan Area School on the 17th and 18th August is one of the few national events to be held over winter and will be important in assessing local surfers’ performances against others from around the country.
