Outside coaching support welcomed TENNIS by Jack Malcolm GISBORNE Tennis has welcomed the offer of support to the region from an experienced professional-level coach. Craig Giddy is an International Tennis Federation Level 2 coach and has been national 45-50 age-group singles champion for the past three years. He has been travelling from Hastings for the past two weekends to provide coaching for local players and intends to continue making the journey. Giddy said the idea came about when he was approached at a national tournament and wanted to help local coach Noel Craft “get it going again”. He said tennis was a passion of his, and Gisborne had plenty of talent that could be developed. Craft said that Giddy’s coaching sessions were a great stepping stone for players of all levels to improve their tennis. “He’s keen to help drive growth in this region, of both participation and competition,” Craft said. “It’s a great opportunity to have him here; he’s got more experience in the competitive environment.” One of the biggest benefactors of Giddy’s coaching has been Steve Royster. He has been competing in national tournament singles, doubles and teams events since he came across tennis through the Primary Schools Introduction Programme delivered by Craft. Royster may be the region’s next tennis star. He has been selected from the Tennis Eastern Region to attend the age-group POLISHING THE RAW MATERIAL: Coaches Noel Craft (left) and Craig Giddy watch junior tennis player Steve Royster practise national tournament in Christchurch, and his serve.

SURFING by Jack Malcolm

IDYLLIC conditions at Midway Beach on Sunday set the stage for an exciting third event of the Gisborne Boardriders Club longboard circuit. Longboarders of all ages competed in their second event in as many weeks at Midway’s Pipe break. Anneleen Van Damme won the woman’s division, outclassing a strong field of competitors. Daryn McBride won the classic log division and Daniel Procter claimed victory in the modern division. In one-to-two-foot waves, competitors had a blank canvas to showcase their skills. Silky smooth footwork and style were on full display as some of the best longboarders in the country made the most of the conditions. As the finals started, the onshore sea breeze picked up, which made the conditions a little more challenging. An outgoing tide also played a part in a slight deterioration of wave quality. Conditions remained highly contestable, just not as picturesque as earlier in the morning. With such a strong class of competitors, the winners had to pull out all the stops. The event had a different format from other surfing competitions — club president Dan Croskey describing it as “definitely unique”.
