    Nipper Gear

    All nippers require a club cap and high viz vest which can be purchased at a subsidised rate of $15 each, thanks to Premium Northland Real Estate for their sponsorship of our Junior Surf Programme.
    Wetsuit optional

    Parent involvement

    Surf Club is not a drop off facility – parents must be prepared to get in the water too, due to water safety ratios.
