Video and still photographs

sought of the Coromandel

Whangamata surf champion Ella Williams

is getting broad coverage these days.

In mid-January, she announced on her

Facebook page after winning the Open

Women’s NZ National title that she was

“Over the moon with HAPPINESS!!!”

It’s no wonder. “I have dreamed of getting

that title since I was seven years old” says

Ella. Ever since I have been going in comps,

I have wanted to get my hands on this

trophy. It has always been a tough challenge

with the good surfers coming through,

so to finally get it caps off a great week”.

Now she is looking forward to international

competition.

and guest stars on the

Crowd Goes Wild

Wild

TV. The duo really hit it off, and

together surfed the Whangamata break

before conquering the awesome Sleeping

God Canyon in the Kauaeranga Valley. Ella

shared the day after, “Had an opportunity

of a lifetime with Canyonz abseiling down

seven cliffs and jumping off a few as well!

Wow what a day, cannot believe this patch

of heaven called ‘Autuatumoe’, or Sleeping

God Canyon is in my back yard!”

Destination Coromandel (see below) had

a hand in arranging this program. Ella’s
