Help cover Poppy's costs in representing New Zealand at the ISA World junior Surf Champs

Waitakere, Piha

Hi, Poppy is 14 years old and loves surfing. She has been selected to represent NZ in the U18 girls division at the ISA World Championships in El Salvador in May. The costs are a bit beyond our means so we are actively fundraising to help cover them. We have 8 weeks to raise the money to cover flights, accommodation, team management & coaching costs. We have a pub quiz and pizza night coming up as well as selling her dad's fantastic Chilli Sauce and her delicious lemon curd.

Please help Poppy realise her dream by donating whatever you can spare to help get her there.

Thank you - Helen, Ben and Poppy

Thank you for your support!  30 May 2024

We just wanted to say thank you again for sponsoring Poppy to El Salvador - she had a fantastic time. She made it through to Round 3 surfing against some of the worlds best surfers including one who has already qualified for the Olympics! This wasn't the end for her, moving through into repecharge heats to secure a higher ranking. She was knocked out after her first heat and ended up placing 31st out of a total of 93 U18 girls. We're so proud of what she has achieved and not many people can claim being the world's 31st best surfer!! Let's see what next year brings.....
