Surfing New Zealand event team. On that note, I have to acknowledge the professionalism PRESIDENTS REPORT and diligence of our hard-working management team. Ben Kennings and Lee Ryan along with many of our regular contract staff have run high quality events and courses across the country. Over the course of the year, they have been strongly supported by Interim Chief Executive, Matt Sale and on behalf of the board and all of the surfing community, I congratulate them as a team on their performance.

2020 has also been a significant year of change in the way in which the sport is governed. The new constitution voted in unanimously in August will see a modern We have seen significant style of governance for the sport. I would like to thank those individuals who spent growth across all of our countless hours in committee working on this project, particularly Trevor Meiklejohn, activities, in particular, Ady van der Beek, Trevor McKewen and Matt Sale. I encourage all clubs to familiarize the participation in our themselves with this important document. The structure set out within this will allow ever-expanding SNZ us to diversify the skill set and the representation of those governing the sport. To Grom Series, judging and that effect, I warmly welcome to the board the four successful appointed applicants: coaching courses. Charmaine Clark from Gisborne, Tairawhiti Region; Greg Allnutt from Canterbury; Sarah Rogan from Auckland and Mark Pevats from Northland.

I would like to thank departing board members for their contribution over the past two years: Pauline Pullman from Northland, the lone female voice on the board for the past two years; Trevor McKewen, who brought a focus to process and governance and Ady van der Beek, who was a supportive and measured influence. We lost Andy Vette in September after a long illness. He was a passionate and dedicated board member. He has been deeply missed. Ultimately, it will be up to the new board and their management team to take the sport into the future. We are seeing stronger engagement from media with interest from Sky Sport in live broadcasts beginning with the Nationals event at Piha, the Rip Curl Pro at Raglan and the Open Series finale event in the New Year. We should continue to foster growth in the sport at community level through programmes such as the Wave Warriors and to grow participation in our Junior and Open Series events. These initiatives will further strengthen support from Central Government and sponsors KIA ORA KIWI SURFERS, alike.

I think few would disagree that 2020 has been one of the most unusual and challenging years I encourage as many of you as possible to come to Piha in January and get behind our in a generation. national event.

As this year finally comes to a close, I am confident that the sport of surfing here in Aotearoa I am proud of the way in which the whole team and community has not only survived but is now stronger than ever. thrived in these challenging times. I can’t wait to see all of you at upcoming events. We’re beginning to see recognition of this at government level with increasing levels of support coming from Sport New Zealand in particular.
