Raglan Surf Academy Class of 2010
|
The Raglan Area School Surfing Academy is once again hosting the annual Schools Surfing Championships on the 17th and 18th of August. This competition is different to the National Scholastics in that any surfer from any school can enter as long as there are no more than 10 entries from each school.
The top 4 places from each school will determine who wins the School Team Championship. Last year Whangamata Area School won the School Trophy.
The divisions are proudly sponsored by VOLCOM (U18 Boys), RIPCURL (U16 Boys) and REEF (U14 Boys), ROXY (U18 Girls). All finalists will receive heaps of prizes and beautifully handcrafted trophies. There will also be lots of spot prizes and fun competition giveaways, onceagain sponsored by BACKDOOR SURFSHOP.
