The New Zealand team finished 10th at the 2014 International Surfing Association (ISA) Stand Up Paddle and Paddleboard Championship in Nicaragua after the team secured two further medals on the final day of competition.
Andrew Newton (Mnt) gained the team's second runner-up placing in the prone paddleboard short course discipline (5km), while Ashley Cochrane (Mnt) gained her second copper medal of the event in the women's short course (5km).
The two medals brought the team's tally to four medals after Sam Shergold (Mnt) finished runner-up in the long course prone paddle race and Ashley Cochrane (Mnt) finished fourth in the long course.
Newton was involved in a classic clash involving two Australian paddlers. Just 24 seconds separated the three paddlers, with Newton gaining second place 16s behind Toby Burrows with a time of 30:18 minutes.
In the Men's Paddleboard Long Distance Race (18km), the athletes took off in a sprint from the start. The leading pack included Rhys Burrows (AUS), Sam Shergold (NZL), Rory Chapman (AUS), and David Buil Sanz (SPA). It was the Aussie and Kiwi who sprinted to the line with Shergold finishing second in a time of 1:55:17, 5s behind the Australian.
