WILL VISIT N.Z.
HAWAIIAN SURF TEAM.
POSSIBILITY NEXT YEAR.
Negotiations conducted in Honolulu by Mr. Phillip J. Wynter, manager of the Australian surf team which recentlv competed there, will probably result in the visit to the Dominion earlv next year of a team of Hawaiian surfers and swimmers. Mr Wynter, who passed through in the -Monterey to-day, announced that he had concluded arrangements for a visit to Australia and it seemed likelv that the team—comprising fifteen 'menwould find time to drop off at Auckland to compete in Centennial events. The Australian team competed with outstanding success against Hawaiian stars, Mr. Y\ ynter added. It found the surf on most of the beaches "child's play in comparison with that encountered in Australia. The strongest Hawaiian opposition was in the surf board racing and boat work.
