Description
Hi, I’m Elliott, I’m 17 years old and I love surfing!
Surfing is a huge part of my life. I surf all year round, every day through the sun and the snow that Dunedin provides! I surf for the sheer joy of the sport and also love competitions. I started surfing competitively at the local boardriders club. Since then I have kept at it and I have gone further than I could’ve imagined! I have now been competing at a national level for a couple of years and I am proud of what I have achieved in New Zealand, but just like in any sport or activity, there’s always more.
This year I have been selected to be a member of the New Zealand Junior Surfing team to compete in the Under 18 division.
I would be honored to represent New Zealand at the Junior World Championships in Japan, however, I really need your help! I would be very grateful if you were able to support me in any way that is possible.
