Week ending 13 September 2026
With the days getting noticeably longer and spring rolling in, it’s fantastic to see the beach calling us back. It’s set to be another busy week for our Mairangi Bay surf club whānau, and with the extra light in the evenings, there’s no better time to dust off the gear, get down to the sand, and enjoy everything our coastal backyard has to offer!

Lifeguarding
It was fantastic to see Ryan Saddington out on the water running a new IRB drivers course recently we’re looking forward to adding some newly minted drivers to our books over the next month! Meanwhile, our latest Lifeguard Award course is packed with candidates. Their passion and energy for keeping our beach safe this summer is awesome to watch.
Grab your family, pop down to the club for a walk, run, or paddle, and let’s make the most of the spring sunshine. See you all down at the beach!
