Surf Ed is a beach safety course that is run at Bondi Beach by Surf Life Saving Australia. As part of the Australian way of life, understanding the ocean is extremely important - the more you know about how waves, wind and tides affect conditions in the water, the better able you are to keep yourself safe, or even rescue others, from danger. Surf Ed teaches students (and teachers) all about beach safety, including flags & signs, waves, rips and currents, rocks & reefs, sun safety, weather, protective gear, first aid, CPR, marine creatures and environment - just to name a few. All while learning to surf! Recognising danger signs and awareness of surf conditions is a means of prevention and an essential part of lifesaving. It's all about safety and its all about fun!
