Piha SLSC

Investing in the future of our youth and our community-Piha Junior Surf, Nippers and Tadpole programmes provide the opportunity for fun at the beach while increasing knowledge and awareness of the beach and surf safety. There is generally a natural progression for our youth from Tadpole/Nipper/Junior programmes to transition to Qualified Patrolling Piha Guards at the age of 14.

Last season Piha SLSC patrolled for 5,648 hours, made 37 rescues, assisted 75 people with first-aid, performed 9 searches, 1,225 preventative actions and 6,390 people preventatives. This is all done on a voluntary basis and does not reflect the true amount of hours required for physical and practical training to ensure a high level of performance.
