Rough waters for Waipu champs

Rough seas provided plenty of action for the BP North Island IRB (inflatable rescue boat) Championships at Waipu Cove earlier this month. Sunset Beach left the weekend as victors collecting 139 points, followed by East End Surf Life Saving Club and Mairangi Bay Surf Life Saving Club. The home team Waipu Cove finished fourth with 28 points. The BP New Zealand IRB Championships will be held at Waihi Beach on April 7 and 8.
