2025/26 Events

Our love and aroha go out to the Mount Maunganui community following the tragic events that have recently shaken the area. The landslide at the base of Mauao has deeply impacted whānau, responders, and the wider community, and we stand in solidarity with everyone affected.

As a result, our Disabled Surfers Association NZ event scheduled for Saturday 28th February at has moved to Papamoa Surf Lifesaving Club, 61 Papamoa Beach Road, Papamoa Beach, Tauranga 3118
