The
New Zealand Black Fins have delivered a massive upset to defeat the
Australian Team by 80 points at the World Surf Life Saving Championships
in Adelaide. The Kiwi's had a convincing lead after the pool events but
continued their good form in the ocean, easily holding off the Aussies
for the first time in 14 years. The New Zealand Team included BMD
Northcliffe members Kevin Morrison, Max Beattie & Andy McMillan who
all contributed greatly to the teams success.
Australian
Team Captain, Shannon Eckstein, did his best to peg bag the points in
the ocean with dominant performances to win the Ironman, Ski Race, Board
Race & Surf Race. Others to taste individual success were Miranda
Bell claiming the Open Female Surf Race and Kristyl Smith the Open
Female Board Race.
The
Australian U20 Team, coached by BMD Northcliffe Head Coach Barry

gold and a silver and Cory Taylor (NZ) who claimed 5 gold, a silver and
a bronze.
