Wainui Surf Life Saving Club

Wainui is Gisborne’s oldest dedicated surf lifesaving club, formed in 1937, and we are proud to continue the underlying values established all those years ago. Our values: community service, volunteering, participation, development, team work, family, respect, responsibility, safety and high standards.

With its clean, glistening water and white sand – was a huge drawcard but its Pacific Ocean frontage and, at times, unforgiving seas ensured preserving and safeguarding lives became an early concern. The club evolved to provide a community service, sporting opportunities and a way of life that blended a healthy, outdoors lifestyle with camaraderie and solid family values.

Located on the town beach in Gisborne NZ, Waikanae SLSC provides a volunteer lifeguarding service . Our members provide a volunteer service to the people of Gisborne and holiday makers and we are dedicated to the public by patrolling Waikanae beach from Labour weekend to Easter Weekend every year.

Through our Junior and Senior Programmes, Waikanae SLSC also offers a variety of Surf Sports training and competitions.

We have a long and proud history and always welcome new members!
