In addition there will be heaps of sponsors prizes for all finalists and a major spot prize for the senior divisions (18 and over) of a choice long board offered up by Canadian Club.
To claim the CC long board you will need to be present at the prize giving starting at Schnappa Rock at 3.00pm on the Sunday.

Ngunguru Sandspit Protection Society

Message from the Ngunguru Sandspit Protection Society
You’ve probably seen yellow signs and bumper stickers reading, “Save the Sandspit”, and you may have been wondering, “Save it from what?”
The Ngunguru Sandspit Protection Society, or NSaPS for short, wants to protect the sandspit from residential development. Landco is the most recent development company to turn its attention to the sandspit and its adjoining mountain, Whakairiora — but it’s certainly not the first. The area has been in a tug-of-war for the last 45 years or so between private and public interests.
NSaPS would like to see the sandspit and its adjoining mountain protected from commercial development by being put into public ownership. It would make a wonderful park and wildlife refuge — an asset that would attract visitors. For more information, check out the society’s website.
