Gouldsbury takes two

Top junior surfer Natasha Gouldsbury proved she is just as good at riding longboards as she is a shortboard when she won two divisions of the Taranaki Longboard Classic 2021 at the weekend.

Gouldsbury won the women’s division and the under-18 division of the event, which was held at

Fitzroy Beach in small but perfect offshore conditions on Saturday.
