Free Surfing Sessions for Porirua Rangatahi

Te Paepae Ārahi is offering an exciting opportunity for Porirua rangatahi aged 12-24 to experience free hauora (well-being) surf sessions this summer. These sessions, available at Lyall Bay, Titahi Bay, and Ōtaki Beach, combine the thrill of surfing with tools to manage mental health through a kaupapa Māori lens.

The initiative invites individuals and groups to “catch a wave” while gaining a fresh perspective on well-being rooted in Māori values. Te Paepae Ārahi’s approach ensures the sessions are not only fun but also culturally enriching.

Transport is available to ensure accessibility for participants. Those interested can reach out to Kayde Titapu Warahi by calling or texting 0225446039, or emailing [email protected].

Take advantage of this unique opportunity to enjoy summer, connect with your roots, and strengthen your mental well-being.
