The K2 North Island Secondary Schools Snowboard competition starts st Turoa Ski
Field on Monday 17 through to Wednesday 19 September. Competitor numbers have
again increased to 350 from a range of 60 schools from throughout the North
Island, making it the largest snowboard event in New Zealand.

disciplines, Rebecca Sinclair from Nga Tawa School in Marton will not get to
defend her titles this year after a recent knee injury, but the current World
Youth Half Pipe Champion has two more years as she is only in Year 11.

host of overseas professional riders.
