A young Ni-Vanuatu boy has gained global attention following his performance in a surfing competition using a duct- taped board.
President of the Vanuatu Surfing Association, Stephanie Mahook, made the Facebook post accompanied with the image of 14 year old
Kaltaliu Kalotiti holding his battered surfboard, held together with layers of duct tape.
New Zealand Surf Magazine managing editor, Steve Dickinson, shared the photo of Kalotiti for his surfing readership and said it didn't take long before the offers started flowing in for a new surfboard.
