The 2015 Northland team was named recently following the completion of another hugely successful 2015 Northland Scholastics Surfing Series. With the recent formation of the Northland Surfing Association Inc., the 2015 series was fortunate to benefit from the development of a new base of ISA (International Surfing Association) qualified judges,as well as new contest equipment. A number of the athletes competing in this years series also regularly compete at a national level on the Surfing NZ Junior Series.
