12 Island

North
Champs.
The North Island Champs, one of the highest regarded competitions of
the year, and more often than not (especially seeing as there was no
South Island Champs last year, and looking like that will be repeated
this year) a good insight to the Nationals results. The weather did its
job and shone on Lake Mangakino. The competition boat this time
around was the huge (24ft) Centurion Enzo SV240. Riders took to the
water, and clearly have been on the water a decent amount this season.
Nearly every rider is clearly riding
at their peak, with Brad Smeele
evidently back on form - edging
the win over last years Champ, and
current Nationals title holder Nik
Gibson.

the event, available for re-run
