OCTOBER 2024

Welcome to the 2024/2025 season.

We have been very busy during the offseason.  Our Ocean's athletes spent a fantastic weekend in Castlepoint getting in some early training, we have four newly qualified IRB drivers,  training is well underway for our new surf lifeguards, and many of our existing surf lifeguards have received some extra first aid training.

The committee and volunteers have been working very hard to get everything ready for this season.  You will see new knee boards and IRB hull arriving in the coming weeks, changes to the storage areas and the patrol room, and a lot of activity is already underway for all our athletes.  Nippers coaches have been briefed and the new merch is ready for you to try.

Merchandise includes T-shirts, hoodies, togs, swimming caps, rashies and more will be added as we progress through the season.  Merch will be available for trying on during the Sunday Nipper's sessions between 2:00 pm and 4:00 pm starting 3 November 2024.

CLUB TOGS

The committee has made the decision to move away from green togs. We will transition over the next two seasons.  Green togs have been getting harder to source and means the club has to carry stock which is expensive and we can not cater to individual preferences.  

From this season we will start the move to black togs.  You can choose your own with the only requirement being that for national/regional competitions you t have to have Titahi Bay SLSC printed in green on the bottoms.  

As we move from green to black it is ok to wear either, but teams such as our boat crews need to be wearing the same.

To screen print your black togs with the club name across the bottom please bring them along to a Sunday Nippers session between 2:00 and 4:00 pm starting 3 November to drop them off and pay the screen printing fee ($7.50). We expect the togs to be ready for collection the following week.

In the meantime we have a range of green togs still available at very good prices.
