A TRIO of Christchurch<br />
boardriders will hit the<br />
surf in California after<br />
being selected in the<br />
New Zealand team for<br />
the world junior surfing<br />
championships.<br />
Estella Hungerford,<br />
Myka Black and Conor<br />
McLennan are among 12<br />
young Kiwi surfers who<br />
will trade in the cooler<br />
waters for California’s<br />
Huntington Beach from<br />
October 27 to November<br />
4.<br />
McLennan, 17, is the<br />
eldest of the Christchurch<br />
contingent. He currently<br />
attends the Raglan Surf<br />
Academy after making<br />
the move north to<br />
continue his development<br />
as a surfer. <strong>The</strong> commitment<br />
appears to reaping<br />
rewards after he won the<br />
under-18 national title in<br />
Gisborne in January.<br />
“I was stoked when I<br />
found out I had made the<br />
team, it’s been a bit of a<br />
dream come true,” said<br />
McLennan.<br />
“Winning nationals at<br />
the start of the year was a<br />
massive boost for me and<br />
I’ve been able to keep up<br />
consistent results since<br />
then.”<br />
Although he has never<br />
surfed in California, he<br />
hopes the Huntington<br />

Beach break will suit his<br />

McLennan will represent<br />

Black will compete in the<br />
under-16 boys division,<br />
and Hungerford in the<br />
under-16 girls division.<br />
In 2017, the New Zealand<br />
team placed 10th<br />
overall. <strong>The</strong> United States<br />
won the event.<br />
<strong>The</strong> championship is<br />
the largest junior surfing<br />
event in the world, playing<br />
host to more than 300<br />
surfers from 41 nations in<br />
2017 when the event was<br />
held in Japan.<br />

THERE’S NO shortage of<br />
experience or leadership in<br />
the Coastal Spirit football<br />
team.<br />
Five of their players have<br />
amassed more than 600<br />
games combined for the<br />
team, which currently sits<br />
second on the Mainland<br />
Premier League ladder.<br />
Louie Bush, Ash Welbourn,<br />
Tristan Nicol, Connor<br />
Lidstone and Anthony<br />
Jones all said they’re good<br />
mates and that’s the secret<br />
to the success of the club.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> environment,<br />
the supporters and the<br />
guys behind the scenes<br />
have been very consistent<br />
throughout the 11 seasons<br />
of Coastal,” Nicol said.<br />
Lidstone was part of the<br />
club’s junior ranks and<br />
enjoyed the atmosphere<br />
and welcoming attitude.<br />
<strong>The</strong> senior players won<br />
back the Hurley Shield, the<br />
MPL equivalent of rugby’s<br />
Ranfurly Shield, from<br />
Ferrymead Bays in a 1-0<br />
victory this month.<br />
<strong>The</strong> aim now is to hold<br />
onto it for the remainder<br />
of the season.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re’s a lot of positivity<br />
in the club,” Jones<br />
said. “You go down to the<br />
juniors and there’s an optimism<br />
here,” Jones said.<br />
He said the reason all<br />
five get on so well is they<br />

Experience helps Coastal<br />
all play for the greater<br />
good of the club.<br />
“We are all friends and<br />
we enjoy playing with<br />
each other. Yes, we’ve all<br />
probably earned the right<br />
to have our say from time<br />
to time, but there’s no egos<br />
here.”<br />
Nicol said the success<br />
of the team was down<br />
to a mix between youth<br />
and experience and the<br />
stability of the coaching<br />
staff.<br />
“Now that we have<br />
qualified for the South<br />
Island tournament later in<br />
the season, I think we have<br />
a squad which is able to<br />
make a real impact in the<br />
debut year,” he said.<br />
