This selection is a significant achievement for the athletes, who have spent months competing in local and national events to qualify. Representing New Zealand on the world stage is a major milestone in their sporting careers, and they hope to bring home medals for the country.
The upcoming championships in Spain will bring together the best ocean ski racers from around the globe. The New Zealand team is now focusing on final preparations, including equipment checks and tactical planning, to ensure they are ready for the international challenge this autumn.
