New Zealand Surfers to Visit Australia

New Zealand Surfers to Visit Australia.

A tribute has been paid New Zealand by the invitation issued for a New Zealand surf team to visit the Commonwealth to participate in competitions and give displays on Australian beaches.

When the Australian team visited New Zealand last summer—(by the way, did we have a summer?)—bad weather prevented the general public from attending the displays in the numbers worthy of such outstanding watermen. Those who were fortunate enough to see the Australians “riding the breakers” saw something they will remember for years to come, and, although it is not expected that the New Zealand team will extend the Australians, the benefits to be derived from competition with the best teams in the world must be of inestimable value when the team returns to New Zealand and the individual members impart the knowledge gained in Australia.
