Kiwi kids news -

New Zealand’s top woman surfer Paige Hareb has won the White Buffalo Hyuga Pro in Japan.

Hareb, 28, beat Australian Isabella Nichols in the final of the World Surf League qualifying series event.

It was Kiwi surfer Hareb’s first win on the qualifying series in 10 years. Her last victory was at Margaret River in Western Australia in 2008.
