THE grey area of community checkpoints or roadblocks set up during the lockdown has raised concerns as the country heads into Alert Level 3 next week. East Coast MP Anne Tolley voiced her concerns with the Epidemic Response Committee and Government over the issue while a Gisborne resident who got no support for his bid to set up roadblocks at two entry ways to the city felt police and Gisborne District Council were sending “mixed messages”. Community checkpoints were set up on State Highway 35 on the East Coast when the country went into lockdown out of fear of outsiders coming into the area and potentially spreading Covid-19. Those running the checkpoints have been working with police, Gisborne District Council and emergency services. WAIHIRERE ROADBLOCK: Waihirere Domain Road has been blocked to non-residents during Alert Level 4 due to the volume Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said she non-essential traffic going in and out of the area.

SURFING by Murray Robertson THE district’s surfers will be waxing their boards and whetting their appetites for waves ahead of Tuesday’s switch to Alert Level 3 and the chance to go surfing again. Up-and-coming teenage surfer Saffi Vette, from Makorori, will be among them. She reckons boardriders will be “frothing” to get back out there. COUNTING Under Alert Level 4, surfing was banned because of the apparent risks it posed. Eighteen-year-old Vette has aspirations to qualify for the women’s world professional surfing tour and has just started her first full year on the qualifying series now that she is out of the juniors. Her best result so far was a fifth placing in a qualifying series Pro event in Western THE DAYS Australia last October, competing as a junior. The month before, she had her first victory in a pro junior surfing event, the Hydralyte Sports Pro Junior Victoria at Jan Juc Beach. Last week she and Mahia-Gisborne surfer Ricardo Christie were named in the New Zealand training squad for the ISA World Surfing Games in El Salvador. The event has been postponed because of Covid-19 and new dates have yet to be announced, but organisers hope to stage it in the latter half of this year. A good performance there offers the chance of a place in the New Zealand team for the Tokyo Olympics, now set for July-August next year. “It was pretty cool to be named in the squad . . . it’s a dream really,” Vette said. “I’ve grown up watching the summer and winter Olympics, and to have a chance to actually go to the Olympics, representing New Zealand, is quite surreal. “It would be very cool.” She feels she has a good chance of doing so. “I think I’m pretty up there.” And she thinks her chances would be enhanced if she could prove herself “a bit more” against top New Zealand female surfers Paige Hareb, from Taranaki, and Ella Williams, from Whangamata. She said she had really missed going for a surf these past four and a half weeks. “It’s been kind of strange not being able to get up and go for a surf in the morning. “I’ve missed just being in the ocean. It’s my sport. It’s what I want to do.” She has run the steps at Makorori Headland every other day and has some workout equipment in her mum and dad’s garage at Makorori. Vette says she goes to sleep at night easier after a good day out in the waves and that’s been missing. “I haven’t been sleeping that well since lockdown started, so it’s going to feel pretty DOING WHAT awesome to get back into the water on SHE LOVES: Saffi Tuesday if the surf’s good.
