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
