Help me get to the junior world surfing championships in California!

Hi Guys,

My Name is Shane Kraus and i am an 18 year old surfer born and raised in Piha, NZ but currently studying and living in Tauranga, NZ. Recently i was fortunate enough to get the last minute call up to represent New Zealand at the ISA junior world surfing championships being held in California later this year. Representing NZ in surfing on the world stage is a huge honour which i have been working towards since my competitive surfing debut back in 2012 and now in my final year eligible to make junior team i have finally cracked it! However going over seas and competing does not come without a rather large cost so i am appealing to you - my good friends and family for any support you may be able to give. I would greatly appreciate any donation no matter how big or small as every little bit counts in helping me to be able to achieve my dream of finally representing the silver fern on the world stage-and in something i love as much as surfing! alongside this i will be surfing and training as much as possible in order to be at my peak level of athleticism for when i finally get to show what ive got. Again i greatly appreciate any support and thanks for helping me Represent my country!
