Te Arai surfer a winner
Activities section winner, Tom Rouse.
Runner-up, Kayla Hunia.
In third place, Aaron Stephenson.
Congratulations to Tom Rouse, of Auckland, who snapped the winning photo in the first section of the Bayleys ‘This is Us’ photo and video competition.
Chief judge Peter Young says Tom’s photo of a sunset surfer at Te Arai captured a beautiful moment in time – a stunning evening on one of the region’s best surfing beaches.
“It has great energy, a fresh perspective and is well composed,” Peter says.
Coming a close second was Warkworth’s Kayla Hunia, with her entry taken at Takatu Point, on the Tàwharanui Peninsula.
