Surfing:  Kehu  Butler  and  Raiha  Ensor  have  made  headlines  again  placing  3rd  in  the  International  final  of  the  Rip  Curl  GromSearch.    The  event  was  hosted  at  Maresias  Beach,  the  home  of  world  surf  league  champion  Gabriel  Medina  who  was  on  site  to  cheer  the  best  Groms  in  the  World.    Kehu  scored  an  8.6  on  one  wave  and  looked  set  to  win  with  2minutes  remaining  and  other  lead  contender  Kobaiashi  needing  an  8.4  to  win.    Kobaiashi  locked  into  a  runner  and  ended  his  wave  with  an  air  reverse  that  gave  him  an  8.6  and  progression  into  the  finals  leaving  Kehu  in  third  overall.        Raiha  incurred  a  foot  injury  early  in  her  trip,  which  hampered  her  performances.    However  a  free  flowing  performance  marked  by  big  rail  turns  earned  her  a  spot  in  the  semifinals.    Ensor  drew  McGonagall  in  the  semifinals  and  although  battling  hard,  lost  the  heat  and  finished  third  over  all.    World  Class  effort  from  both  these  outstanding  Mounties

And  we  would  be  very  grateful  to  anyone  who  would  like  to  help  him  his  achieve  this  goal. We  are  very  proud  of  Nick  and  wish  him  all  the  best  and  hope  he  can  succeed  in  bringing  home  the  medals.   If  you  are  interested  in  helping  Nick  get  to  Malaysia  through  sponsorship  please  contact  mum  Emma  on  0274  843  274.
