Surfing New Zealand, the authority that regulates surfing in New Zealand, confirmed to DUKE the team that will be participating in the Surf City El Salvador ISA World Surfing Games that will take place in La Bocana and El Sunzal between May 30 and June 7.

The Kiwis field a strong team, with a mix of youth and experience. With Olympian Billy Stairmand, former CT Paige Hareb, young pro Kehu Butler.

Since qualification for Paris 2024 for this World Cup is regional and Australia has already qualified through the CT, qualification for the Games through this event is quite accessible.
