SURF CARNIVAL
Six teams took part in the Odessey's End Invitation Surf Lifesaving Carnival on January 2nd. In sizzling temperatures, it was a relief to be in what little surf there was. It was three and a half hours of non-stop competition between Midway (the eventual winners), Wainui, Waikanae, South Brighton, Red Beach & a Gisborne composite team.
Coming in on the crest of a wave in the IRB Rescue are Rama Robertson (with patient Kate Wickham) & Jason Callaghan from the Wainui team. Rama recently attended an intensive course in Australia for Lifesaving Leadership & Development.

Slip Slop Slap was a real necessity and it was impossible to sit on the sand without a towel.
