Welcome to the second episode of What The Surf?!, the official podcast of Surf Lifesaving New South Wales.
This month we're celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Inflatable Rescue Boat, IRB or rubber ducky as it's known. Sally from Avalon Beach SLSC chats with pioneer Warren Mitchell OAM who tested the very first IRB on 2 November 1969.
Harold Marshall from Umina SLSC introduces us to NSW Youth Lifesaver of the Year Kai Darwin.
Sean sits down with fellow host Jess Collins. She takes us through her extraordinary and inspirational story of surviving an accident that changed her life.
And Brad and Toby from Kiama take us through their rescue which won them NSW Rescue of the Month for August. The pair saved the life of a rock fisherman in treacherous conditions.
