'It is a privilege and an honour to have the opportunity to present this bespoke mini-Sealegs for Prince George as a momento of his visit to New Zealand,' said Eric Series, Sealegs Chairman. 'We hope he has some magic and memorable moments while playing in his Sealegs both in and out of the water.'
