Karekare surf winners At
the NZ Surf Lifesaving Championships in March, the Karekare Women’s
boat crew, consisting of Simone Johnson, Daile Lambert, Lorraine Brake,
Nina Reid, and sweep Lance Hammond, cleaned up for the second year
in a row, defending our Short and Long Course Boat titles. On an extremely
short course compared to most, races lasted only 2-3 minutes and left
no room for error. After good performances through the heats, we pulled
off a technically near-perfect race in the 6 boat final. Karekare
was the only crew to hold the wave and stay straight all the way in.

Piha and Karekare
celebrate over 70 years of life saving on the coast
The friendship between the members of the Piha Surf Club and the
Karekare Surf Club is now almost 70 years old and still continues
to grow. Throughout most of the last century these two clubs have
had a lot in common and have continued to respect each other for
their life-saving ability and have links that are probably closer
than any other clubs on the West Coast. . more

Plan your summer on the beach
The Surf Club wants to hear from you if you are interested in learning
about fitness, understanding of rips and currents, first-aid, surf
swimming and are interested in making a positive contribution to the
community. If you have what it takes, there are plenty of "rewards",
such as great comradeship, lots of fun social activities and training
in lifeguard skills. For more information visit: www.karekaresurfclub.org.nz
