This year, we were proud to fly our flag with Surf Life Saving New Zealand at the 2025 Aon New Zealand Surf Lifesaving Championships in Tairāwhiti Gisborne.
These championships showcased the skill and dedication of our surf lifeguards at all levels, who not only keep our beaches safe but also excel in the sport of surf lifesaving. It was an honour to be on the sand alongside the athletes, supporters, and volunteers that made this incredible event, and to support and celebrate those that do the mahi to keep our patrolled beaches safer.
Teaming up with SLSNZ, we are helping to ensure that communities and future generations are better informed and better advised to make Better Decisions in and around the water.
