Last week our Senior Surf Sports Squad recreated history by finding 2nd 🥈 overall at the AON Surf Lifesaving Nationals! This equals our best ever finish last achieved in 2023.
East End finished with 314 points behind Omanu Beach SLSC on 418 points and infront of reigning champs Mount Maunganui Lifeguard Service on 267.
It was East Ends greatest ever medal haul with 18 gold 🥇 17 silver 🥈 and 10 bronze 🥉medals.

East End also had 4 out of the 8 overall age group winners with Claudia Kelly Tara Shotter Daniel Callebaut and Chris Callebaut winning the Open Female, U19 Female, U19 Male and U17 Male respectively.

Congratulations to our IRB crew who have just finished their National competition.

It was a bit quieter this year with only one crew attending but that one crew walked away with a silver in Mass and a bronze in Singles which actually took them to 3rd Open Male crew overall. Awesome stuff Scott Nelson, Campbell Begg, Kiera Johnstone and Cade Johnstone.

Huge Thanks to Muzz for his support throughout the weekend and for Clelands providing financial support to get the crew to Waipu. Looking forward to next year with a few more crews on board.
