Raglan’s Jayden Willoughby surfed to his fifth win of the year in the Under 14 Boys Division, at the Canterbury Men’s Surfing Champs held in Gore Bay over the weekend. This win guarantees him the U14 SNZ series title for 2018. He backed that performance up with an excellent showing in the Under 16 Boys Division finishing in second place.
Jayden’s dad Phill could not replicate his son’s success but did finish second in the Over 45 Men’s Division.
Other Point Boardriders members Taylor Hutchison and Josef Jungwirth also represented Raglan at this contest.
