Not for the faint-heartedNSRI Station 23 Wilderness hosted rescue crew from Richards Bay, Shelly Beach, Gordons Bay and Simonstown over the weekend for Surf Training.

Overnight the sea really began to stand up in might, reminding everyone that respect and safety are paramount.

Everyone agreed it was an experience to learn from and remember.Wilderness Sea Rescue wishes to thank our visitors for they receptive attitude and team spirit. Till next time…
