Stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) is a wonderful summertime activity and Surf Life Saving New Zealand (SLSNZ) is keen to ensure Kiwis can enjoy it safely this summer.
As part of the charity’s Ready. Set. Summer campaign, SLSNZ is teaming up with water safety experts across a range of popular beach activities to share vital safety messages. Our number one priority is ensuring that Kiwis make it home safe after a day at the beach, says SLSNZ Chief Executive, Paul Dalton. Volunteer Surf Lifeguards conduct hundreds of rescues every year - and many of these involve people who are participating in activities such as surfing, SUPing, or sea kayaking, he says.
