Read the waves: Surfing safari in Sumner

Come and join the festival atmosphere as the seaside village of Sumner comes alive over the weekend of 8-11 April for the Single Fin Mingle. With surfing, music, art, film and dance on offer this is a fun way to spend a weekend. 

While you are in Sumner pop into Matuku Takotako: Sumner Centre on Saturday 10 April and you can take your own surfing photo using our green screen or try your hand on the DJ Decks. Lay down that track in your head on our garage band suite or just take a moment to check out the surfing photos on display.

Free laser cut wax combs will be available on the day to anyone who takes out a new library membership or has a go at any of the technology on show. Only a limited number available so get in quick.
