Welcome to The Rip! Winter Awards Show — our completely unofficial, mostly unscientific, and slightly biased look back at lifesaving’s off-season. From athletes who braved international competitions, to clubs and innovations that kept the energy alive all winter, Xtina and Brent hand out awards everyone wants to win, but never knew they could!

We also look ahead to what’s coming this summer — from the Rescue Sport Series and Battle of the Bays to new events, South Africans abroad, and the countdown to the 2026 World Champs in Port Elizabeth.

🎬 Expect laughs, opinions, a bit of bias, and a lot of love for lifesaving.
