On Saturday, 25th January, Sealegs proudly sponsored the Annual Onetangi Fishing Competition, an event that brings together locals and boating enthusiasts for a day of adventure, camaraderie, and, of course, fishing!
Testing the Waters: A Challenge for the Bold
This year, the conditions were far from ideal, with only eight boats braving the rough weather. With strong winds and choppy seas, it was a real test for even the most seasoned anglers. Despite the challenge, the Sealegs community pushed on, showcasing the resilience and adventurous spirit that defines us.
More Than Just Fishing – A Celebration of Community
While the fish weren’t exactly cooperating, the heart of the event was never just about the catch - it was about the people. After a tough morning on the water, everyone gathered for the prizegiving and a well-earned BBQ, sharing stories, laughs, and a few “the one that got away” tales. Events like these remind us that while fishing is the reason we come together, it’s the friendships, the local connections, and the shared love for the ocean that make it truly special.
Sealegs has always been about more than just boats - we’re about building a lifestyle. With over 210 Sealegs owners on Waiheke Island alone, it’s no surprise that the area is often referred to as the “Land of Sealegs.” It’s one of the largest and most passionate Sealegs communities in the world, making our involvement in the Onetangi Fishing Competition a perfect fit. Supporting local events like these isn’t just something we do - it’s part of who we are.
