SUMMARY:Surf Rescue Training
DESCRIPTION:The Great Lakes are powerful\, unpredictable\, and often highly underestimated. Each year\, they take lives that could have been saved with the right awareness\, knowledge\, preparation\, and support from the shore. \nThat’s why we’ve partnered with the Great Lakes Surf Rescue Project to bring back our annual Water Safety & Surf Rescue Clinic — a hands-on training designed to equip our local surf and beach community with real\, life-saving skills. \nThis is not a passive\, on-the-beach talk. Participants will be in the water\, actively practicing nearshore and open water rescues\, along with post-rescue response and resuscitation techniques. It’s serious\, practical training built for real conditions on the Great Lakes. \nOur goal is simple: to ensure that anyone entering the water this season feels more confident\, capable\, and prepared to keep themselves — and others — safe. \nRSVP NOW \n  \nThe course will teach participants how to: \n\nExpand Surfer’s Awareness in the Lineup\nIdentify Hazards including Dangerous Currents\nPrevent themselves from Drowning\nRecognize the Signs of Drowning & Identify a Person in Trouble\nLearn to efficiently & effectively throw a life ring\nPerform an Open Water Rescue with your Bodyboard\, Surfboard or SUP\nTake Precautionary Measures in the Case of a Spinal Injury\nPerform basic CPR\n\n  \nAfter the training\, we shift gears and unwind! \nStick around for a more relaxed community gathering — we’ll have fires rippin’ in the Solo Stove\, a fire rippin’ in the sauna from Sleeping Bear Saunas\, pizzas from our buddies at Surfrider Northern Michigan and a keg o’ beer by our sponsors at Stormcloud Brewery! A super-fun chance to warm up\, connect\, and celebrate a shared commitment to lookin’ out for one another! \n  \nRSVP NOW \n  \nWhat to bring:  \n\nYour preferred watercraft (surfboard\, stand-up paddleboard\, or bodyboard)\nA buddy! You will be paired up during simulations\, therefore you only need to bring one board per 2 people.\n\nCan’t get a buddy to join you? No sweat\, we’ve gotchu’!\n\n\nYour wetsuit. We highly recommend a 4/3mm full suit. Have ~5mm boots & mitts? Bring ’em!\n\nIf you don’t have a suit of your own\, you may reserve a rental up to 24 hours in advance of the event.\n\n\nWater\, towel\, swimmies\, and dry\, warm layers are also encouraged\n\n  \nThis event is free to attend.\nIf you’re able\, donations are encouraged to support the Great Lakes Surf Rescue Project and help continue this wildly important work. \n  \n \nCheck out this powerful recap of our ’21 Surf Rescue Clinic with Jack Brodeur\, Faith Hoekstra\, & GLSRP: \nhttps://vimeo.com/577591125?embedded=true&source=video_title&owner=15245801 \n  \nAbout the Course Presenters:\nThe Great Lakes Surf Rescue Project\, Inc.
