- **Event Name**: Celebration of Mikes Life
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 24 Jan, 2026 at 05:00 am
- **Event Description**: ❤️ IMPORTANT UPDATE – TIME CHANGE ❤️

Hi everyone,

Due to a New Zealand Power Boat Racing event being held on the same day, we need to change the start time of Mike’s Celebration of Life. This will allow the racing to finish and ensure that those who would like to can still take part in the paddle-out - something that was important to Mike - while others watch from shore.

? The celebration will now begin at 3:00 pm.

Please RSVP via this event so we have an idea of numbers.

❤️ In Loving Memory of Mike Celebration of Life ❤️

Anyone who knew and loved Mike is invited to join us as we come together to celebrate his life.

Mike was a surfer at heart - happiest in the ocean, chasing waves, with salt on his skin and freedom in his soul. Always up for a good laugh. Being near the water and sharing that space with the people he loved feels like the most fitting way to honour him.

There will be an opportunity for a paddle-out for those who wish to take part. This is completely optional - whether you join on the water, watch from shore, or simply come to share stories and memories, all are welcome. There’s no set format or expectation - just time together to honour Mike in a way that feels right.
