MBK | Day 3: Beach Visits and Basketball

CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand – Following two days of basketball related activities, the Saint Mary's men's basketball team had a chance to explore the South Island of New Zealand on Tuesday, prior to their game against the Mainland Eagles at night.

During the day, the Gaels took a trip to Sumner Beach, a top surfing spot on the South Island. Though in the middle of winter, several Gaels braved the cold temperature of the Pacific Ocean for a quick dip.

The next site had the Gaels in New Brighton, overlooking the pier and watching a brave surfer in full wetsuit catch some waves.
