NZ <strong>Surf</strong>boat c. 1946<br />

Muriwai way back!


WELcOME from our NZ President<br />

SLSNZ is excited to see the return of the <strong>Trans</strong>-<strong>Tasman</strong> <strong>Surf</strong> <strong>Boat</strong><br />

<strong>Challenge</strong> after disruption over the last few years.<br />

We welcome the Australian crews to beautiful Waihi Beach and<br />

congratulate the NZ crews on their selection for this <strong>Challenge</strong>.<br />

I’ll be there amongst the crowd to see the skills and fitness of both<br />

the Open and U23 crews and cheer everyone on. As an old surf<br />

boatie, although we didn’t have formal competitions then, I’m<br />

especially pleased to see the growth in women’s surf boat racing.<br />

Bring the competition, surf and weather on.<br />

Event HISTORY<br />

Marilyn Moffatt MNZM<br />

President, SLSNZ<br />

<br />

It was a dream of Waihi Beach <strong>Surf</strong> <strong>Boat</strong> legend Dan Harris QSM<br />

to bring a special boating event to Waihi Beach. North Island <strong>Surf</strong><br />

<strong>Boat</strong> Champs came to be through sheer hard work and a lot of<br />

hours behind the scenes, complete with its own medals, annual<br />

t-shirts and awesome burgers for all competitors.<br />

<br />

Driven by a vision shared with like-minded boaties to create a<br />

competition series just for surf boats, North Island <strong>Surf</strong> <strong>Boat</strong>s<br />

became one of the key events in the Summer <strong>Surf</strong> <strong>Boat</strong> Series.<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Earlier this season, Dan was present for<br />

the launch of Waihi Beach’s latest <strong>Surf</strong><br />

<strong>Boat</strong>, aptly named “The Dan Harris”<br />

which included a blessing from local iwi<br />

kaitiaki Reon Tuanau of Ngāi Te Rangi<br />

and a lovely speech by Dan’s daughter,<br />

Janine O’Connor.<br />

Farewell Jim<br />

<strong>Surf</strong> <strong>Boat</strong> Crews and <strong>Surf</strong> Clubs in both Australia and New<br />

Zealand lost a legend last year with the passing of Jim<br />

Campbell. This weekend marks the first time that we are<br />

all together and offers an opportunity to say farewell in our<br />

usual <strong>Surf</strong> <strong>Boat</strong> way.<br />

<br />

Jim started at Avalon on the North Sydney Coast before<br />

moving to NZ and sweeping numerous crew at both Titahi<br />

Bay in Wellington and Mairangi Bay in Auckland. A life<br />

member of SLSNZ, Jim gave much and will forever be<br />

remembered by those of us who knew him - RIP Jim<br />

Big waves at Piha!<br />
