News: Press Release #1

The North Shore Lifeguard Association would like to present its latest service project. Asurf safety poster is now available to local merchants, realtors and individuals who share our interest in ocean safety education. These full color, laminated posters display diagrams of four of the north shores most popular beaches showing rip currents and other features. It also includes big surf safety tips for both visitors and residents. The surf safety poster was designed by Pat Kelly and Rick Williams, and graphic layout was done by local artist John Bain. Funding for the project was provided by quiksilver. According to the posters designers; our goal is to have this valuable safety tool in every beachfront vacation rental, classroom, surfshop, restaurant, and other public areas on the north shore. Additionally we wish to share this with the military, the visitors bureau, and all car rental agencies on oahu. If you are a realtor, merchant, teacher, or are concerned for the safety of our beach users please contact the North Shore Lifeguard Association for your free surf safety poster. We can be reached at www.lifeguard.org or 638-7226 / 638-8297. Thank you for helping us to save lives...aloha | Click to see a larger version
