Surf Rescue

 
SE WIND 10 TO 15 KT. WIND WAVES 3 TO 5 FT. W SWELL 7 FT AT 15 SECONDS.

Surf Rescue has come a long way from the years I worked as a beach lifeguard in the late 70's.
We didn't have helmets.
Nor did the State provide bracing elixirs to combat the frigid waters of North San Diego.
At least not at work.

Why would surf rescue need a helmet? Does it protect from the breaking of waves? Extreme Sports across Australia and New Zealand with FreemanX Sports

Looks like he is drinking beer. Anyway, an better complement helmet with vest to protect surfers from shark attack.
