It's been a horrific weekend on the water - six people drowned.
Surf Lifesavers had to rescue more than 50 people from the water in the Northern Region - including 16 people at the same time in Raglan.
Two separate accidents also involved spinal injuries after swimmers were dumped into the sand by large waves.
Surf Life Saving Northern Region chief executive Matt Williams told Charlotte Cook six drownings in 48 hours was six too many.
