1976  :  Red Beach club member Andrew Olsen receives the Cath & Eddie Millar Cup from cup donor Eddie Millar following the club's overall points win in 1976.  The trophy was first contested in 1975.
1991 : 1st World Masters Surf Life Saving Championships.   Red Beach Surf Club hosted this inaugural event which drew a very large turnout of New Zealand and overseas competitors for three days of masters competition.
Held from 29 November to 1 December 1991, it was an outstanding event conducted in fine, warm weather.  Red Beach fielded the second largest team of competitors, 43 in total.
The organising committee was made up entirely of Red Beach club members and drew high praise for the event which is still talked about to this day.       One of the highlights was the erection of a viewing stand capable of seating 600 people which extended out over the water.  Click on the photo to enlarge it.
