Surf Sports are an integral part of life saving at Whangamata SLSC.

We encourage all lifeguards to participate in rescue style events to ensure that we are fit and experienced enough to patrol any beach in the country.

Training for and participation in Surf Sports enables Lifeguards to improve their lifesaving skills, fitness, and motivation. Junior Surf athletes through to Masters compete in a variety of aquatic and beach events testing their fitness and surf skills against one another and against nature.

Surf Sport disciplines include Swim, Board, Ski, Run, Ironman, Canoe, Surf Boat and Inflatable Rescue Boat (IRB). Surf Sport events are held over the summer providing Local, National and International competition for Surf Sport Lifeguards.  There is also a pool competition held throughout the winter

Whangamata SLSC has a proud history in surf sports, most notably the three time world champion surf boat crew of the 1990's.

Congratulations to the Open Men's Canoe crew
