Four more Red Beach lifeguards are now qualified to drive the club’s inflatable rescue boats.
Dean Pouwhare, Jared Pouwhare, Thomas Clarke and Shauni Furniss obtained the IRB Drivers Award at an examination held at Piha in late-August.
“It was one of the highest standards of candidates that have been put forward for an IRB Driver’s exam,” said the SLSNR examiner.
Club members with their Surf Lifeguard Award who would like to obtain the IRB Drivers Award should contact IRB instructor Brian Maney at 0274 906 622.
