What you should know about Palmerston North Surf Life Saving Club

Sports Club in Manawatu, Club in Manawatu

Surf Life Saving is one of the best imports we've ever had from Australia. It was on its long sweeping beaches and in its crashing waves that lifesaving was born in 1906. The traditions that took root there first came to the shores of Lyall Bay and New Brighton in 1910. New Zealand lifeguard wore the same style of costumes and caps as their Australian counterparts.
The reels they carried proudly onto the sand were manufactured in Australia and shipped across the Tasman. The story of Surf Life Saving New Zealand is one of extraordinary efforts to save people from the unpredictable seas. It made it more professional, effective and shortened rescue times from hours to minutes. All clubbies were treated equally lawyers, plumbers and farm hands worked together to save lives.
Though they were originally welcomed into clubs as full clubbies, the 1930s saw the heroic bronzed and tanned man become the idealised image of the beach. However when the men returned, those women were often relegated to fundraising, tea making and cake baking. Many broke off and started 'ladies' lifesaving clubs, often near the clubhouses of their former colleagues. These days women stand alongside men on surf patrols throughout New Zealand and compete in all the same events.
