Riversdale SLSC

Club Overview

Great little family oriented club at the stunning resort of Riversdale Beach. An active surf beach 45 minutes from Masterton. You will need to book a bach to stay as there are no longer any camping grounds. Over 40 patrolling members last season and growing new guards this year. An active nipper programme running 9.00am till 12.00pm weekdays from 27th December through to carnival day. Nipper carnival on the Sunday of Anniversary weekend is always a festive occasion with a wave testing most competitors. Call in and have a look. An unusual aspect is we have Volunteers and Regional Guards on duty at the same time. Patrols are out in front of the carpark by the club house and mobile patrols run regularly the 3 km length of the beach. We will also be having a second patrol at the southern end of the beach this year until the 13th January unless demand requires it to stay longer. South end patrol will operate each day from 1.30pm to 5.30pm on Nipper days, otherwise 9.30am to 5.30pm.
