Great effort by Wamberal SLSC Patrol members over this weekend.
Today they responded to two swimmers who were in serious difficulty at Forresters Beach.
Skowie and Richard were able to launch the IRB in huge dangerous surf at Wamberal and head North. They found surf board riders supporting the swimmer. He was later transferred to a responding jet ski and taken to the beach. The other swimmer made his way back to the beach. Both men taken to Hospital but both are fine. Great effort by everyone involved.
This incident comes after a very serious fin chop to a board rider yesterday at Spoon Bay. In that case we were able to provide vital first aid before the arrival of the ambulance. Thankfully the board rider was released from hospital last night.
Thank you everyone for your effort.
