RESCUE
19.50 –
Off duty lifeguards (some of whom had just updated their lifeguard
qualification) became concerned for two surfers who were struggling in the current close
to the point. They were making no headway and looked extremely tired. Arran ran
down the beach with a rescue board and paddled out to them to reassure them
that further assistance was on its way. The situation was monitored by Andy
from rocks at the point and Chris from the common above the point. Nathan and
Gavin manned the base ready to provide further assistance should it be required
and contacted our Surf Rescue IRB which was exercising along the coastline. The
IRB immediately returned to the area and took the two surfers onboard returning
to the safety of the beach.
Off Duty Lifeguards Involved: Arran Bluck,
Andy Morgan, Chris Page, Gavin Davies, Nathan Evans
Volunteer Inshore Rescue Boat (IRB) Crew:
Richard Castle (Driver), Dan Castle (Crew)
Conditions: Hot and Sunny – 2-3 foot surf
