Event Manager Prue Younger says the new partnership is a great opportunity to celebrate this iconic event.

This season, the New Zealand Surf Life Saving Championships heads to Ohope Beach, Whakatane from 17 - 20 March as the membership competes to be crowned National Champions against their friends and fellow athletes.

The New Zealand Masters Championships will take place on Thursday 17 March, paving the way for the Open Championships from Friday 18 March until Sunday 20 March.
