North Piha Lifeguard Service has protected the lives of those who visit North Piha for over 50years. United North Piha Lifeguard Service was created in 1973 as the result of the amalgamation of North Piha Surf Club and Eastern United Surf Club from Browns Bay. Like most Surf Lifesaving Clubs throughout New Zealand United North Piha's beginnings were the result of a few determined genuinely caring citizens. The drive to Piha back in the 1940's until the 1970's was a dust chocked narrow metal road in summer and a slippery mud bath in winter. Those harty volunteers would often travel out on a Friday evening and patrol for the entire weekend. Todays volunteers whip over the hills in airconditioned cars in less than 30 minutes from Henderson. There was a great need for a club house. Local identity Les Waygood donated land, locals and members fund raised and lobied for materials to build the club house which still stands today but in a modified form.

Check out our United guards representing Surf Lifesaving at the Everyday Heroes event at NorthWest Shopping Centre in West Auckland ⚡

It was great to connect alongside New Zealand Police, Fire and Emergency, Hato Hone St John and Coastguard, to celebrate the everyday teams that protect and support our communities.

Such a fantastic day showcasing what we do and meeting so many local whānau. There may even be a few future lifeguards in the making! 💙💛

Rips often look like calm, darker patches or channels in the water with fewer breaking waves but don’t be fooled.

It might look inviting, but that calm patch is a strong current heading out to sea and can catch out even confident swimmers.

If you’re caught, stay calm, float and signal for help. Remember the safest place to swim is always between the flags.

Such a fun way to wrap up junior surf for 2025! 🌊

It was all about getting in the water and enjoying the beach together. We even had a surprise visit from Santa, who arrived in style on his IRB sleigh for a lolly scramble!

While training is done for the year, we’re still excited to be seeing plenty of our juniors around the club over summer ☀️

Always good to work along side our community to help educate and promote enjoying our beach safely 💙💛

A big thank you to Natalie for examining and Toby for supporting the training as our driver.

It’s great to see our crew continuing to build strong skills across the club ⚡️

Congratulations to Kate Adolph and Rosie Davis as two of only 20 candidates selected nationwide for SLSNZ’s National Lifeguard School! Shout out to our very own Dan Short who was also named in the instructor team⚡️

Over four days at Mt Maunganui, they’ll tackle advanced rescue skills, leadership training, mass rescue scenarios, first aid, search & rescue and more.

These lifeguards are truly some of the best of the best, and we’re so proud to see them take on this challenge and represent United 💙💛

An action-packed Labour Weekend set the tone for an exciting season ahead! ⚡️

Despite the windy conditions, it was fantastic to see so many members getting involved, reconnecting, and getting this summer season underway 💙💛
