2019 Mangawhai Bowl Jam

Shaun Boucher thrilled the crowds at the 2019 Mangawhai Bowl Jam held at the Mangawhai Activity Zone on February 2.

Shaun took second place in the Open section. First place went to Bowman Hansen, his third win in a row.

The skating competition attracted more than 60 competitors from New Zealand and Australia – the largest field ever.

Organiser Jesse Peters says he was especially thrilled to see the Masters (skaters over 40) perform to the highest standards.

The winner was Andrew Morrison, aged 50.

“To still be skating at that age, and if not better than those competing in the Opens, is something else,” Jesse says.
