📣 Surf Life Saving New Zealand (SLSNZ) is thrilled to announce the selection of three national teams for the 2025 International Surf Rescue Challenge, taking place on home soil first the first time in eight years.
New Zealand teams will be headed by the open Black Fins team, with the Junior Black Fins and a New Zealand Pathway Team also competing.
In addition to the Black Fins and Junior Black Fins, three national representative teams were also selected for the Battle of Tasman on the Gold Coast in August 2025, a Trans-Tasman event that caters to athletes deeper into the performance pathway. This competition aims to prepare athletes for the Lifesaving World Championship format, the pinnacle event in lifesaving sport.
Congratulations to those athletes selected and thankyou to the selectors for the huge amount of work leading up to this selection announcement ❤💛

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of John Martin MBE, Event Director of ILS. John lost his courageous battle with cancer and passed away peacefully at the age of 67, surrounded by his loving wife and family.

John’s unwavering commitment and dedication to Lifesaving were truly invaluable. We extend our heartfelt gratitude for his support of the Lifesaving World Championships 2024.

Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and the entire community during this difficult time ❤️💛
