Two Kiwis are riding the Olympic wave, as surfing makes its debut at the Games. It's hoped Ella Williams and Billy Stairmand's appearance at the Tokyo games will inspire even more Kiwis to get on board.

It's one of six new sports on the schedule at Tokyo - after being added to the list in 2016.

Clay Wilson headed to Piha Surf Club today to meet with the two surfers hoping to wipe out the competition.
