Surf Club: Oreti

From Summer Weekends, 11:33 am today

Each week during Summer Weekends we've been checking in with surf live saving clubs around the motu  - where thousands of people volunteer each summer to keep us safe

Today we're off to the southernmost surf lifesaving club  - not only in New Zealand  - but in the world! 

Oreti Surf Club is close to Invercargill - it's famous for being the spot where Burt Munro tested his Indian motorcycle.

It also attracts throngs of swimmers in summer. Susana caught up with Oreti Surf Lifesaving Club captain, Sam Webster.
