Check out our new lifesaving vehicle that has just arrived and will be on the beach this summer when patrols start at labour weekend.
We’re trialling a canopy this time.

Special thanks to our sponsors Toyota financial services and Grassroots for their continued support of clubs with these vehicles. Also to Surf lifesaving nz and Northern region for getting it kitted out and ready to help save lives!

A fantastic night of festivities at the club on Sunday with our AGM and prize giving.
The highlight was announcing our newest Life Member Valasi Eves who has dedicated the best part of 30 years to the club.
Also congrats to Hannah Gordon and Clint Bishop on their Distinguished Service Awards.
We are also delighted to award service awards to Steve Hales, Sam Turbott, Grace Munro, Neil Grundy and James Hutchinson.
We finished off the festivities with Paella Pan, a wonderful way to thank our volunteers and their families who are so dedicated to the club and the Surf Lifesaving movement.

On the 04 July the red and yellow shorts and shirts were traded for Glam dresses and suits at the Annual 2026 Awards of Excellence for Northern Region.
Karekare had put in submissions for a few of the categories including Rescue of the Year.

We were very proud to have members representing the club
receiving their Service Awards.

Congratulations to Julie Mercer, Steve Hart, Mark Chaafe, Llewellyn Abraham, Gareth Abraham, Ian Wade, Dave Wade, Hannah Gordon, Chrissie Sidwell and Clint Bishop. Some of these members have served our community and club for over 30 years so they are well and deserving of this recognition.

We know you will equally honour and congratulate their dedication and service which is all voluntary.

Also congrats to the other winners on the night from Northern Region and local clubs including Life member Karel on winning Lifeguard of the Year.

Here is the link for the finalists and a few snaps from the night.

A special week to acknowledge all the mahi our volunteers do on and off the beach every year at Karekare Surf Lifesaving as we honour you all on National volunteers week!

New Zealand is renowned for operating on the back of volunteerism, we honour all those that give up their time whether it is for our club, or all the other wonderful organisations that people support in Aotearoa!

Congratulations to our 10 members who will be heading to the Awards of Excellence at Shed 10 in July to receive their service awards.

Well done to Chrissie Sidwell, Clint Bishop, Dave Wade, Gareth Abraham, Hannah Gordon, Ian Wade, Julie Mercer, Llewellyn Abraham, Mark Chaafe and Steve Hart.

All these members have spent years of dedication (some decades) and this award is well deserved. We are delighted that we will also be paying for their partners to accompany them as behind every great lifeguard is a partner and family that sacrifice family time!

Big day for karekare today. We are thrilled to announce 9 new lifeguards who passed their exam at Mairangi earlier today. Congrats to Emma, Finley, Aria, Quinn, Robbie, Aidan, Juno and evija. Special thanks to instructor Steve and all the other lifeguards who helped with their training. Also to our examiner team today - Joanne, Mary and Carwyn.
We look forward to seeing you between the flags next summer.

Also congrats to our local school lone kauri on their 50th jubilee today. We know lots of local clubbies have strong connections to the school and we shared the beach races fundraiser for many years. Looks like it was a great day of celebrations!

Congratulations to our four guards who just returned from YDC (Youth development Camp) after three nights at Motutapu.
Thank you to SLSNZ and NR for arranging this camp - especially Gabriella as we know it is a massive undertaking.
Well done to Hazel, Freida, Sabine and Sebastian for being selected and we hope you all achieved personal development from the challenges and made lots of friends for life in Surf.
Special thanks to all the instructors who give up their time to support our young guards.
