Jetski on patrol in Orewa


In a first for the Hibiscus Coast, a surf lifesaving rescue jetski will be stationed at Orewa Surf Lifesaving Club for the summer.

The jetski will be used for a wide range of rescues, throughout the Coast and up into Rodney, including as a first responder for things such as boats on fire – until Coastguard gets there.

The two-seater jetski tows a sled that can carry two people.

This weekend, lifeguards will begin patrols throughout the week as well as at weekends.
