Surfers Rescue 24/7 is a free CPR and board rescue course for recreational surfers in Victoria. It provides crucial training to assist in an emergency situation and could ultimately save a life. Surfing Victoria aims to roll out courses all over the state. It provides crucial training to assist in an emergency situation and could ultimately save a life. The 3 hour course teaches CPR to course participants and board rescue techniques. The course will be conducted at key locations along the Victorian coastline from East Gippsland to Portland in the South West.

Surfers are in the water dawn until dusk, 365 days a year and are often first to assist in emergencies. With select Victorian beaches only patrolled during summer, surfers can be utilised to assist outside the flags. Our beaches are one of our biggest assets and we all need to do what we can to make them safe. We're encouraging recreational surfers of all skill levels to participate.

Due to the number of tourists and residents using the Surf Coast Shire I would like to see this project supported because we have many had a number of drownings in recent years and training of rescue services could well be supported in the area and beaches.
