About This Module


Are you prepared to save your fellow surfer? This module will instruct students how to conduct unassisted swim rescues, surfboard rescues, one- and two-person jet ski rescues of a conscious and unconscious victim, C-Spine extrication of a victim from ocean to beach, and important in-water communication techniques to employ during an emergency situation.

*This module will have a special follow-up live virtual Q&A “Pau Hana Session” presented by Kona Brewing Co., where students who purchase the entire course or this individual module can directly interact with the module instructors, ask questions, and talk story.
