2017 New Zealand Representative Surf Boat Challenge teams

The New Zealand Representative Surf Boat Challenge sees regional representative teams from the Northern, Eastern, Central and Southern regions racing at Waihi Beach on February 5.

Made up of six crews per team, they will battle it out over a three race series; one long course, one short course and one surf boat relay. The winning region will have the highest total points across the three races per age group.

The representative event format was developed last season to create a step in the pathway towards achieving national representative honours.
