Coastal Combat
Orewa Beach turned up the heat last weekend at the NZ Beach Sprint Championships—and Ōtūmoetai College’s own Arthur Crimmins was right in the thick of it.
Beach Sprints are rowing like you’ve never seen it before: a 50m sprint across the sand, a 250m row through crashing surf, then straight back onto the beach for a final all-out dash to the line. Fast, furious, and unforgiving.
Taking on some of the country’s best in this high-intensity, head-to-head format, Arthur showed incredible grit, power, and “sand-speed”—bringing home an outstanding 🥇🥇🥇 and 🥈 across the weekend.
An epic effort in one of rowing’s most explosive disciplines. We can’t wait to see where this coastal journey takes you next, Arthur!
