2017 New Zealand Skater of the Year Awards

Posted 04 Apr 2018

Crown your NZSOTY.

Much like Christmas this award only comes around once a year. Who will be crowned New Zealand Skater of the Year for 2017? A title that’s awarded by their peers and adoring fans. It’s earned and never given lightly. We did a deep dive—a bit of soul searching through the highs of last year—and we came up with a few names who we think are most deserving.

But who are we to decide? We’ve left that up to you!

Voting has now closed. Stay tuned for announcement details.
