Wow what a way to wrap up the Surfing for Farmers Pukehina 25/26 season! 🌊🏄‍♂️

What a year it’s been. This simply wouldn’t have been possible without our amazing farmers, dedicated volunteers, and our incredible local legend sponsors. You’re the reason this programme continues to grow and thrive.

From a new location to a whole new vibe we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better season!

A massive thank you to Rabobank for once again supporting us with a surfboard to give away at our final session. Congratulations to this year’s winner, Cam stoked for you!

We also introduced trophies this season to recognise some of the legends involved: 🏆 Most Improved – Pascal Weniger
🏆 Most Attended Sessions – Richard Stuart
🏆 Best Volunteer Support – Ngaire Solomon & Belinda Spratt

Huge shout out to Powerco for shouting fish & chips at our end-of-year prizegiving and for all the awesome spot prizes such a great way to finish the season! 👏

We’re already looking forward to next season and can’t wait to come back bigger and better for Pukehina!
