Australia-based Gisborne clubbie Cory Taylor will once again lead the New Zealand Black Fins at the Lifesaving World Championships in South Africa.

The championships will be run from December 2-6 at Port Elizabeth on the Eastern Cape and will involve surf and pool competition.

Taylor, a member of Dawson Building Midway in Gisborne and Northcliffe on the Gold Coast, will share the captaincy with Madison Kidd from Whangamata Surf Life Saving Club.

“They are two of the SLSNZ’s most experienced and respected athletes,” Surf Life Saving NZ said in a statement this week.

“The most-capped athletes on the team, they bring a wealth of international racing experience and leadership. They also have a deep understanding of what it means to represent New Zealand on the world stage.”

SLSNZ said Taylor’s experience and leadership had been instrumental in shaping the Black Fins culture over many years.

“One of New Zealand’s most accomplished lifesaving athletes, Cory continues to set the standard through his professionalism, work ethic and commitment to supporting those around him.”

“I’ve been lucky enough to wear the black cap for several years now, and it’s something I’ve never taken for granted.
