Equipment

Our current Surf Sport Programme operates 10 months of the year.  

The team does 4 months of Winter training focussing on fitness, strength, and endurance during the week and paddling on the weekends. Training in the winter is at the HB Regional Sports Park and paddling is at Westshore. 

This flows into 6 months of summer training getting race ready. Training is at Westshore or Ocean Beach, Hastings. The club helps with transportation to assist athletes and their families. 

Swimming is a fundamental skill for Surf Life Savers therefore we encourage our athletes (and members) to be swimming fit all year around. It is not a requirement to specialise in swimming races but members are required to complete their Lifeguard Refresher annually so it is recommended swim regularly.  

The Senior squad attempt to compete and support as many competitions throughout New Zealand as possible. It is a great atmosphere to be a part of and the squad thoroughly enjoy road trips away to race with the nations best.
