Puerto Rico is "On"

National junior surfing champion, Alan Byrne, who recently went to Mt. Maunganui to live, is off to the world surfing championships at Puerto Rico. Although initially unable to raise the required finance through lack of sponsorship, Alan has raised most of the fare for the trip himself. Alan (right) is sure to do well at the championships.
