Wainui Surf Lifesaving Club

Nestled in the heart of Gisborne, where the sun first kisses Aotearoa each day, stands a beacon of community spirit – the Wainui Surf Lifesaving Club. Since our inception, we've been more than just a club; we are an association that embodies the spirit of camaraderie, resilience, and the unwavering commitment to ensure everyone enjoys our beautiful coastline safely. Our story began on the shores of Wainui Beach, where passionate locals came together with a shared vision: to protect lives and provide an environment for surf sports enthusiasts to thrive. Over the years, we've grown from a small group of dedicated individuals into a vibrant community that prides itself on lifeguard patrols, surf lifesaving activities, and a comprehensive junior surf program. The heart of our club is our Junior Surf Program. We believe in nurturing the next generation of lifesavers, instilling values of teamwork, respect, and dedication. Our young members learn not just surf skills, but life skills – from leadership to resilience, all while having a blast on the waves. But we're more than just a club for our younger members. Our adult members also play a vital role in maintaining our lifeguard patrols, ensuring that everyone who visits our beaches can do so safely and enjoyably. And when the sun sets and the day's work is done, our club transforms into a popular venue for events and gatherings, bringing people together over shared passions and stories. Whether you're a seasoned surfer, a parent looking for a safe and fun environment for your child, or someone seeking a unique venue for your next event, the Wainui Surf Lifesaving Club invites you to join our family. Come experience the spirit of surf lifesaving, become part of our story, and together, let's continue to protect and celebrate the beauty of our coastline. Welcome to Wainui – where community meets the sea.
