Surfing: Hareb takes second at world games

New Zealander Paige Hareb has finished second at the world surfing games in Peru behind Australian Chelsea Hedges.

Hareb led the final until the last two minutes, only to see Hedges come out top in the final exchange.

The result is the best ever performance at the world surfing games by New Zealand woman, and helped the New Zealand team to eighth place overall after finishing 11th in 2009.
