⭐ SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT – KELSO GENETICS ⭐

From paddock performance to BBQ precision – the Kelso team know how to deliver both.

Kelso’s roots go back to the ‘70s, when Roger Marshall started building something different at Tututotara. These days, the operation is based out of Lunesdale in Hawke’s Bay, where the Bibby family continue to push the boundaries with a no-nonsense approach to breeding sheep that perform where it counts.
It’s not just about breeding – it’s about thinking differently. Kelso’s programme blends stockmanship, science, and innovation to produce rams built for real-world farming systems.

The Kelso team are a great bunch to deal with and a massive part of the rural community here in Hawke’s Bay.

Huge thanks to the Kelso team for their ongoing support of Surfing for Farmers – we really appreciate you backing the crew and what this is all about!

Lets give a massive thanks to Resene ColorShop Hastings for supporting Surfing for Farmers Waimārama.

The Hastings Resene ColorShop is on Southland Road and offers both colour consultant service with a Resene Colour Expert and PaintWise, which accepts unwanted paint and paint packaging. It’s bloody good to have well-known local businesses backing grassroots community events like ours.

We really appreciate your support. It helps us keep the good vibes rolling each week and gives our local farming community a place to connect, breathe out, and enjoy a bit of saltwater therapy.

Thanks again to Resene Hastings for getting in behind Surfing for Farmers.
