Nick Carroll's Surf Safety Series: Episode One - Fact & Fiction

Number One in a six part series, hosted by Nick Carroll.

Surfing’s not that safe. That’s why we dreamed up this series. As surfers, occasionally we get ourselves into danger. Sometimes — not often, but sometimes — it’s mortal danger. We also see other people in danger. But how many of us know what to do when things go pear-shaped in the ocean?

Over the next few weeks, we’ll:

Talk through some of the fact and fiction around who’s at risk in the water
Suggest six things everyone can do, like right away, to make things safe
Show you the first moves to make in a watery crisis
Demo a simple method of rescuing a person using your normal, everyday board
Do a step-by-step, surf-specific CPR instructional
Give you some ideas about resources if you want to take your rescue skills to the next level

This series was made with thanks to:

Written & presented by Nick Carroll
Filmed & produced by Sally Mac
