JUNE 2011 - 2011 ISA World Surfing Championship in Panama

Globalmediapro is sending two top upcoming surfers, Zen and Tane Wallis, to the 2011 ISA World Surfing Championship in Panama. This is the Olympics of surfing where surfers from 30 countries compete for gold medals.




One is of the members of the NZ Tag Team (surfing relay), competing at the 2011 International Surfing Games in Panama. (Tane Wallis is in the middle with his brother Zen to his left.)

The New Zealand team placed 7th but were less than 3 points behind the South African and the USA Teams after over an hours surfing. The NZ team's overall result was 9th from 30 countries competing, which considering the young age of the NZ Team was a remarkable feat.
