Waiheke Surf Club

Fun sea sports safety skills for kids

Waiheke Surf Club started in March 2019 so Waiheke Island’s tamariki could meet at the beach to improve their swimming and water skills and take part in team sports. We went from zero to 120 junior members in our first year. Our club’s senior members are in their teens and the juniors can start as young as five.
