Sunset Beach Lifeguards travelled to Wellington on the weekend to the NZ Surf Lifesaving Awards of Excellence.
Stuart Keven was awarded has 50 year badge, proud moment for Sunset, big thank you to Stuart for putting in all those years of service to our community, surf patrols and surf boats. "In it for Life" is the surf lifesaving motto and Stuart has certainly achieved that.
