This afternoon’s patrol comprised all the new Bronze and SRC members who gained their awards last weekend, plus the trainers.
We take the opportunity during these scheduled patrols to induct new recruits to surf patrol and show them the procedures before allocating them to their regular patrols.
We train our new members to set the patrol up and provide All Terrain Vehicle (ATV), Inflatable Rescue Boat (IRB) and jet-ski inductions. We also practice roving patrols and general operations.
