BRIEF SURF HISTORY
Have you heard of Hawaii’s North Shore? Hawaii is the surfing mecca where professionals and amateurs go to experience the best, most consistent and dangerous waves in the world. Perhaps you ‘ve heard of famous Pipline or Waimea Bay? Surfing dates back to the 12th century and is considered the “Sport of Kings”.
The Hawaiian Water Patrol take their jobs seriously as they educate, keep people safe and save lives on a daily basis. It is an honor and a privilege to prove oneself worthy of the title as a North Shore Lifeguard.
The Jr Lifeguard program was developed and implemented back in the 90’s and is still thriving today! Many of todays top surfers participated in the Jr Guards programs.
It is our mission to imbue a program in Westerly that has been adapted by Hawaiian culture and designed to spread ocean awareness, to respect the joys and dangers of the ocean, to make a difference, to serve, protect and educate.
We look forward to surfing with you this summer!
