On patrol in Pakiri

Red Beach lifeguards are on patrol again in Pakiri. This is the eighth summer the club has been providing the voluntary patrol.

The decision to patrol at Pakiri stemmed from the club’s fast-growing membership and the ability to provide highly-qualified lifeguards.

Last summer, from December 19 to February 8, the volunteer lifeguards at Pakiri carried out a record 30 rescues and attended to 13 first aid cases during the 1440 hours they were on patrol. This summer’s surf patrols will continue through to Sunday February 12.
