North Piha Lifeguard Service has protected the lives of those who visit North Piha for over 50years. United North Piha Lifeguard Service was created in 1973 as the result of the amalgamation of North Piha Surf Club and Eastern United Surf Club from Browns Bay. Like most Surf Lifesaving Clubs throughout New Zealand United North Piha's beginnings were the result of a few determined genuinely caring citizens. The drive to Piha back in the 1940's until the 1970's was a dust chocked narrow metal road in summer and a slippery mud bath in winter. Those harty volunteers would often travel out on a Friday evening and patrol for the entire weekend. Todays volunteers whip over the hills in airconditioned cars in less than 30 minutes from Henderson. There was a great need for a club house. Local identity Les Waygood donated land, locals and members fund raised and lobied for materials to build the club house which still stands today but in a modified form.

What a weekend at the 2026 IRB Nationals 🎉

Our United Airlines crew showed up and gave it everything against some seriously tough competition. With full throttle moments, podium finishes and some creative zinc designs, the team absolutely delivered and we couldn’t be prouder 💙💛

🥉 3rd place: Single rescue
⚡️ 6th place: Mass rescue
⚡️ Semi finals: Tube rescue, assembly and teams

Business Class: U23 Female (Lily, Olivia and Simone)
⚡️ 5th place: Tube rescue

⚡️ Second competition ever for these boys, super proud of them!

This trip was a true team effort. From competitors, the massive crew of supporters on the beach, towing gear, it really does take a village to make it happen.

A huge thank you to Brendan and the team at Access Specialties Ltd for their support and trailer sponsorship. It continues to help make opportunities like this possible for our team.

That’s a wrap on the 2026 IRB season. Bring on 2027 ✈️

Check out our United guards representing Surf Lifesaving at the Everyday Heroes event at NorthWest Shopping Centre in West Auckland ⚡

It was great to connect alongside New Zealand Police, Fire and Emergency, Hato Hone St John and Coastguard, to celebrate the everyday teams that protect and support our communities.

Such a fantastic day showcasing what we do and meeting so many local whānau. There may even be a few future lifeguards in the making! 💙💛

Rips often look like calm, darker patches or channels in the water with fewer breaking waves but don’t be fooled.

It might look inviting, but that calm patch is a strong current heading out to sea and can catch out even confident swimmers.

If you’re caught, stay calm, float and signal for help. Remember the safest place to swim is always between the flags.

Such a fun way to wrap up junior surf for 2025! 🌊

It was all about getting in the water and enjoying the beach together. We even had a surprise visit from Santa, who arrived in style on his IRB sleigh for a lolly scramble!

While training is done for the year, we’re still excited to be seeing plenty of our juniors around the club over summer ☀️

Always good to work along side our community to help educate and promote enjoying our beach safely 💙💛
