Naomi Davoren wins GOLD!
How proud are we in lil’ol New Zealand of our very own Life Member Naomi Davoren smashing it at the Australian National Championships – taking out GOLD in the Masters Female Surf Race against 15 top Aussie competitors!
Strong currents, a heavy shore break, and a tough second bank made it a seriously challenging race. But Naomi dug deep and led from the first can…
"The competition here is next level, and I knew I had to push hard from the start. I managed to lead around the first can with a group in close pursuit. Heading back in, I feared getting jagged, but I fought to catch the first wave, and the rest is history! – Naomi Davoren (pictured with daughter Georgia)
Also, a massive congrats to clubbie Sandy Boubee, who took home bronze in the Masters Ironwoman racing for her Aussie club, Mermaid Beach!
Absolute legends.
