A DAY SURFERS LIVE FOR

Gisborne surfer Blair Stewart comes out of the barrel of a wave at a northern Mahia break on Thursday. The stars aligned to create a day of pumping waves at the break, which surfers had not experienced there for two years. Stewart was among a group of big-wave enthusiasts from Gisborne who enjoyed an adrenalin-packed seven hours in the water, towed out to the waves by jetski. Their feats were shot by photographer Damon Meade. “This is what they live for,” he said. STORY ON PAGE 3 Picture by Damon Meade Studio

MANGAPAPA School students took part in Gumboot Friday yesterday and raised more than $400 for the cause. Wearing gumboots is a fun way to raise money for children’s mental health, because having depression “is like walking through mud every day”, says the I Am Hope website. Comedian Mike King started the youth and community focused support group I am Hope, which is run by The Key to Life Charitable Trust. Mangapapa School was right behind the kaupapa/ purpose of Gumboot Friday, principal Paul Sadler said. “We’re fully aware of the increasing complexity of our Mangapapa Kids (MKids) and tamariki across New Zealand. A holistic approach to hauora/wellbeing in all schools is crucial. “Through supporting Gumboot Friday we’re supporting the provision of free and timely counselling for any tamariki in need. “While we hope most of our MKids will never need this, we know that if they do, the support they need is there.” GUMBOOTS FOR A CAUSE: Wearing decorated gumboots for Gumboot Friday at Mangapapa School are (from left) Samara Lee, Lamaya Tamatea, Dimitri Hopkins, Khloe Whaitiri-Ruru, Nevaeh O’Dwyer, Ayva McCrae- Marino and Amber McKnight.
