JBK - SURF KAYAK PRIZE WINNER

Mega Surf Kayaks Australia in association with Cumec Magazine is proud to announce that Michael Williamson of Alexandra, New Zealand was the winner of a brand new Mega Maverick Surf Kayak. Michael correctly answered the question 'Where in Australia are Mega Surf Kayaks produced?' the competition was run over two issues of Cumec Magazine and received numerous entries from throughout both New Zealand and Australia.

When first contacted about his prize Michael's excitement was inspiring, and he is looking forward to taking the new boat out in the Surf at his family's holiday home in Waikouiati near Dunedin. Michael is a member of the Central Otago Whitewater Club and has been an enthusiastic paddler since 'a long time ago'. The Mega Maverick will now take precedence over his classic surf shoe which has seen 'better days'.
