Pāpāmoa Junior Surf Carnival

17 Jan

A huge THANK YOU to all our friends at Mount Maunganui Lifeguard Service, Waihi Beach Surf Lifesaving Club, Whakatane Surf Life Saving Club and Omanu Beach SLSC for joining us at our Pāpāmoa Junior Surf Carnival at the weekend.

It was wonderful to see our beach filled with close to 300 young athletes enjoying the racing with their team mates. Our carnival is one of the only local ‘teams only’ event for Junior Surf kids and the feedback we get is that they love it. The support, camaraderie and friendships seen on the beach and in the water are heartwarming.

We’d like to say a massive THANK YOU to all the volunteers who made the day run so smoothly - lifeguards, Rookies, water safety crew, officials, team managers, parents and kitchen helpers. We couldn’t do it without you.

And a final THANK YOU to our wonderful sponsors who make it all possible - Body In Motion Health, Mitre 10 Papamoa and PAK'nSAVE Pāpāmoa. As well as Pāpāmoa Rotary who ran the BBQ for us. We really appreciate all your support.
