Voices from the Surf: 80 Years of the Karekare Surf Lifesaving Club

Adult General Non-fiction

Karekare is one of the most iconic beaches of New Zealand - and one of the most dangerous. It has been said that in its 80 years the Karekare Surf Lifesaving Club has saved over 2000 people from death by drowning in the surf - beginning with New Zealand's first seaplane rescue in 1935, a story brilliantly retold here by Charles Hamlin. Voices from the Surf collects the voices of generations of lifeguards since, with tales of brave rescues, competition success, club camaraderie, and many reflections on the bond that the 'clubbies' have with the special, spiritual landscape that is Karekare. There is a lot of yarn telling and living history in this book; open it anywhere to read a ripping story.
