Surf Sport is a big part of who we are at Paekākāriki Surf Lifeguards. Our athletes compete across beach sprints and flags, swimming (surf race and tube rescue), board, surf ski, and more.

We're competitive - but we're also about encouraging everyone to get involved, push themselves, and enjoy the experience. We have very experienced coaches who dedicate their time on a volunteer basis to improve the surf skills of all of our members, led by our Senior Sport Co-ordinator Dave.

The season also includes pool competitions where clubbies compete in swimming, rescue, and obstacle races.

Surf Sport events are held over the summer providing local, national and international competition.

Keen to join us?
