Kiana O'Fee had a couple of tough years where racing was hard to come by and she came agonisingly close to a Junior Black Fins spot last time around.
But she has regrouped, put in the hard yards, and had one of the most successful U19 seasons that we have seen for a long time both in NZ and Australia. The reward for that success has been selection in the Black Fins for the International Surf rescue Challenge in Texas in a couple of months.
Yet another strong Female athlete that has come out of the Spindles led Mt Maunganui environment - we are stoked for her and can't wait to see her throw down against the worlds best in USA!
