Orewa is now the venue for the next Surf Sports carnival on Sunday 13th January.
It was to have been held at Piha, however, surf officials decided on the switch after giving consideration to a number of factors.
There is a slight change to the programme. It now starts with beach sprints, followed by beach relays and beach flags. Next up are surf, board and ski races, to be followed by board relays, board rescues and double ski races. Diamond person, Ironman events and Taplin relays wind up the day.
The briefing for team managers is at 9.30 am and the beach events get under way at 10.00 am. The surf boat arena starts up at 12 noon.
The carnival is the last opportunity for competitors to impress the selectors and gain berths in Auckland’s Lion Foundation Surf League teams.
