NZ Piha Boaties Lead the Challenge into France |
|
Piha “A” senior surfboat crew will travel to France this September to take on the best at the Ocean Thunder Internatioanl Championships in picturesque Biarritz.
These boys have been rowing together for many years and are brothers in arms - but its not always smooth sailing – five men in close quarters in stressful racing and training situations aint always pretty!
 The Piha A crew boasts a reputation as fearless Big Wave specialists; now its time to walk the walk not just talk the talk - the possibility of monster surf at the world-renowned French resort of Biarritz is very real – and of course we all know what waves Piha can turn on …
Piha crew will tackle the gun Australian crews and for the first time ever have a crack at the British, French, and other European crews at the Champs. (They’re not so worried about the French though; it’s their Olympic Coxless 4 Crew who have very little wave experience – although if it’s a flat day the Kiwis are in big trouble).
