Lady of the Log

Nau mai haere mai ngā wāhine!

We are so excited to announce our first ever Lady of the Log, a wāhine longboard competition. Held at Te Awanga, Hawke’s Bay’s famous righthand point break, The Lady of the Log is a celebration of the sisterhood of surfing. Since forming Sea Sisters in 2020, we have been overwhelmed with the continuous aroha and tautoko we have been shown by our beautiful community in both Hawke’s Bay and across the motu. This community has nurtured us and allowed us to learn and grow. The Lady of the Log is an extension of this kaupapa - a space to connect, inspire and celebrate the amazing community of surfing.

Wāhine of all surfing abilities are encouraged and welcomed to enter. To enter, boards must be 8ft and over in length (foam boards available if needed). There will be two divisions - Open Women and Beginner Women. Entries are limited so once tickets are live, make sure to rally your gal pals and secure your spots for you and your crew. We will have a Sea Sisters “stoke zone” set up at Te Awanga point, so even if you aren’t competing come on down, pull up a camp chair and share in the festivities.

***IMPORTANT INFORMATION***
