Today wasn’t about surfing better. It was about being better prepared when something goes wrong in the ocean.
Spent the day with the Surf🌊🌊 team completing my Surf Coach Essentials, including First Aid + CPR, ocean safety training and Surfers Rescue 24/7.
As surf coaches and surf schools, safety has to be at the centre of what we do. But these skills aren’t just for coaches.
Surfers Rescue 24/7 is FREE and available to surfers and recreational water users across NSW.
If you spend time in the ocean, you’re often already in a position to help — you have a surfboard, ocean awareness and potentially the ability to reach someone before emergency services can.
Learning how to approach someone in trouble, use your board in a rescue, manage an unconscious person and respond with CPR could make an enormous difference when it matters.
I’d love to see more surf schools, coaches, boardrider clubs and everyday surfers getting involved.
We spend so much time learning how to surf.
Let’s also learn how to save a life.
Check out Surfers Rescue 24/7 through Surfing NSW and find an upcoming free course near you.
