👑 2026 Queen of the Harbour - Rebecca Cole 👑

She's been a rising figure in the ocean ski world for a couple of years, including some impressive international performances in 2025. Yesterday, she stamped her name as the next kiwi female force on the ocean, with a performance that saw her finish 7th overall. Following in the footsteps of some absolute legendary NZ ocean ski women and an incredibly popular winner, congratulations to our Queen, Rebecca!
