Midway supremo Cory Taylor powered home to win the open men’s ironman at the New Zealand surf lifesaving championships on his home Midway beach yesterday. And Waikanae’s Casey Fyall secured the “flag” ahead of Whangamata’s Madison Kidd in the final of the open women’s beach flags.
Taylor was among the
stars of the carnival. As well as the ironman title, he won the surf race and board race, and helped Midway to victory in the surf teams’ race.
Fyall added the flags title to gold in the beach relay but had to settle for second to clubmate Briana Irving in the open women’s beach sprint final.
