A 15-year-old from Ahipara has been crowned the best bomber in the inaugural Far Far North Bomb Competition.
Held at the new Pukenui wharf, about 50km north of Kaitaia, the event drew 120 enthusiastic entrants despite Friday's challenging conditions.
Prizes were awarded for biggest manu bomb, coffin bomb, gorilla bomb and staple bomb, as well as the most creative bomb.
The event was organised by Jason Hakaria, who lives in Auckland but comes home to Houhora every summer.
