NZ VS AUS

SUMMARY

After 3 amazing days on the sunny Gold Coast, the NZ team convincingly took out the win by over 1000 points.

The first 2 days were Surfcross, which our kiwi team loved. Big surf was something we hadn't had to deal with for a while, but the team took it in their stride cleaning up both days... much to the Aussies dislike.

The 3rd day was a circuit style endurance race over 90km. Teams had a beach start and then completed 6 laps of circuit before finishing with a run up the beach. Although the kiwis didn't take out first place, overall they won the day.

Looking froward to the event next year and we'll be back for another clean sweep.
