Surfers' Pentathlon
The Gisborne Surf Lifesaving Association's annual pentathlon competition attracted a large crowd of spectators to Roberts Road beach on a recent sunny Sunday afternoon.
Twelve surfers, two seniors and two. Juniors from the three local clubs, competed in the five events, a beltman's race, surf race, surf ski race, beach sprint, and resuscitation exercises, for the two trophies, the Kaiti Rose Bowl (seniors) and the Lamont Memorial Shield (juniors).
Senior competitors starting in the surf race are, from left: Keith Twigley (Midway), Kevin Pritchard (Midway), Tony Royds (Wainui), Gary Robinson (Wainui), Jimmy McLean (Waikanae), and Barry McLean (Waikanae).
