Please support this great event which will be centered around East End this Sunday.

Free and for all ages. Sunday is the big one!

East End Surf Club, Strandon, is our main event base.

Meet us there from 12pm — we’ll have plenty of equipment on hand. This is also the site of our post-event celebrations!

Or get your gear ahead of time: Bags, gloves and a safety briefing will be available to collect beforehand from the Hirepool branch on Smart Street, Waiwhakaiho — so you can head straight to a spot that means something to you.

Dropping off what you collect: We’ll have collection points set up near SH35 for the wider region, or we encourage you to bring what you’ve gathered along to the celebration afterwards.

Celebrate with us: From 2pm–5.30pm (till the sun goes down) at East End Surf Lifesaving Club — food, drinks, beach games, educational displays and music.

As a club we have been training hard all winter so when the season starts, we hit the beaches ready to serve. We wanted to acknowledge the fantastic trusts that support us being able to test our skills against lifesavers from across the country at regional competition. (photo of the team is below).

Thank you Aetearoa Gaming Trust for your support, we are very grateful.

We are starting lifeguard training early October and our open day will be the 1st of November. If you are interested in joining for this summer, get in touch !
