Waihi Beach Surf Boat Rowing

24/10/2025

🔊Waihī Beach Surf Boat crews — past and present!
You’ve all been part of the action over the decades — from wild race days and early morning trainings to medals, memories, and plenty of laughs along the way.

As we mark 90 years of surf lifesaving at Waihī Beach, we want to see our surf boat community back together — rowers, sweeps, managers, and supporters from every era. Don’t miss this chance!

Come and reconnect, share stories, and celebrate the crews who’ve repped the Waihī Beach blue and white with pride. There’s a Surf Boat Tribute on the Saturday morning as part of the weekend, along with plenty of chances to catch up and be part of the celebrations.

The brave Waihi beach under 23 womens crew heading out in the big seas. Unfortunately a gear failure did not see them finish the race.

Were you at this year’s North Islands/Trans-Tasman? Did you see these beautiful trophies?
🙏🏼 Reflecting on the generosity of sponsors and the difference a great sponsor can make to an event. We have been so grateful for the support of Hinuera Natural Stone as well as the talent of their craftsman Reihana Baker, who hand carved each of the North Island Surf Boat Championships trophies. Rei gave his time freely over and above his normal work hours to ensure we had these stunning trophies to present. They’ve been mounted on pieces of rimu well over 100 years old, donated to the Club for this purpose.
Reminder to crews that we’d love any photos you took with the trophies - please send them to us!
