Rémi Darkis wins silver medal at the Pacific Games on Laguna Bay

The Pacific Games was held in New Caledonia from the 27th August until the 10th September where local rider Remi Darkis received the silver medal. Congratulations to Remi who has been riding Laguna Bay Longboards for a few years now and been updated with his progress from a young grom. His father Ronald has sent us some photos and looks like they had some nice waves to ride.

Its great to see that the International Surfing Association announced that surfing would be included again in the Pacific Games, and to be held in New Caledonia. I believe the surfing was held in Ouano perfect waves.

This event is great for all the keen surfers to compete in New Caledonia and hope it continues strong. The Pacific Games (formerly known as the South Pacific Games) is a multi-sport event, where athletes compete for medals and the honor of defending their nations. Participation is reserved exclusively for countries around the South Pacific. It is held every four years and began in 1963, hosted by Suva, Fiji. Over 4,300 athletes from 22 nations will take part in the event, competing in lots of different sports.
