The Surf Life Saving National Awards of Excellence programme recognises the contribution of our amazing members from the grass roots of Surf Life Saving during the 2019/2020 season. Congratulations to all of our winners and award recipients.
Mairangi Bay’s Danielle McKenzie achieved the TSB
International Sport Performance of the Year after winning all of
her ski races at the International Surf Rescue Challenge in
South Africa. McKenzie competed in five ski races over three
days of competition - three ski team races and two individual
races.
She won them all.
At the SLSNZ Nationals McKenzie again dominated the field
across the beach in what was a truly exceptional, and record
breaking, performance. She now holds the record for the
greatest number of NZ National Title wins in Surf Lifesaving
Sport with 42 open wins (comprising individual, team, ocean
and pool rescue wins), 81 open medals and 96 medals in total
including age group medals.
