Raglan Area School ‘SURFING ACADEMY’ Presents The NZ School Champs

The Raglan Area School Surfing Academy is once again hosting the annual Schools Surfing Championships. This competition is different to the National Scholastics in that any surfer from any school can enter as long as there are no more than 10 entries from each school. The top 4 places from each school will determine who wins the School Team Championship.  Last year Whangamata Area School won the School Trophy.

The divisions are proudly sponsored by VOLCOM (U18 Boys), RIPCURL (U16 Boys) and REEF (U14 Boys), ROXY (U18 Girls). All finalists will receive heaps of prizes and beautifully handcrafted trophies. There will also be lots of spot prizes and fun competition giveaways, once again sponsored by BACKDOOR SURFSHOP.

The Raglan Surfing Academy students are not permitted to enter the event as their job is to run the event on the day.

The competition will run for 2 days – 17th and 18th of August. The venue will be Manu Bay. Registration will be Monday night. 6:30pm at the school hall.

The postponement days of the 19th and 20th of August are in case the surf is unsuitable. Two days notice will be given if there is a need for postponement.

There will be limited numbers. Last year the draw was full 2 weeks before competition day so be quick. First paid entries will have priority. There is plenty of accommodation this time of year in Raglan. The most reasonably priced accommodation is the Kopua Holiday Park (07 825 8283) Solscape (07 825 8268) and the Raglan Backpackers (07 825 0515).
