The Surfers Rescue 365 program will aim to provide recreational surfers with life saving skills sets via the provision of free training courses.
Any competent surfer from recreational grass roots surf rider to professional surfers of every discipline.
Beach usage, whether for sport, recreation or competition, comes with inherent risk – the Surfers Rescue 365 program will aim to minimize this risk through the provision of free training to the large community of recreational surf riders in WA.
Over 99% of WA’s vast coastline is unpatrolled, with many of the state’s most spectacular, remote beaches providing idyllic swimming and surfing conditions. Often these locations become scenes that require those with crucial training to assist in an emergency situation, often saving a life.
