International Results

On the second weekend of May the Australian Nationals were held in Queensland. 2 Canterbury riders competed at the event, both in the premier Pole Ski class. Trent Brown (current nz champion) and Cole Askew (Australian 2009 winner) took on the aussies and current World Champion Kevin Reiterer (Austria). After his boat arrived late and in parts, Cole was plagued with engine problems and a few dnf’s put him out of the running for a podium finish. Reiterer had a similar fate with a minor problem in one race, which opened the door for Trent to battle it out with the rest of the Australian based field and take the title. Aucklander (and current World and NZ champion) Sam Harvey took out the Pro Runabout Open title. Congratulations to Trent, Sam and Cole.
