The Single Fin Mingle
Event Partners & Sponsors
The SFM is built upon relationships and we believe that with this the SFM has the
potential to become one of NZ’s iconic events. But who we partner with and how, speaks volumes about what we want to achieve. Right from the word go we have strived to collaborate with like minded partners: people who share the same generosity of spirit and sense of adventure. Those who value quality over quantity. Those who desire partnership in the true sense of the word.
