Everything in Australia wants to kill you. At least, that’s what the Internet wants you to believe. But the heavy surf conditions and treacherous undercurrents of many of Australia’s beaches actually throw some credibility to the meme. That is why Surf Life Saving Australia (SLSA) exists, to help keep ocean-goers safe from harm. Recently, SLSA representatives from across the continent tested the latest in Sea-Doo Personal Watercraft, Evinrude E-TEC engines and Can-Am All Terrain Vehicles in their respective fields.
As reported by OZPWC, “the event started at BRP offices where the group were shared information about how BRP plans to continue to support the SLS movement to help save lives on Australian beaches. Product testing was then conducted at Wanda Beach and included testing on the new Sea-Doo Spark and Search and Rescue watercrafts.”
Coastal Risk and Safety Manager, Anthony Bradstreet from SLSA explained, “BRP product help Australia’s surf lifesavers patrol and perform rescues with greater efficiency and rapid response. BRP understands our core mission of saving lives, and this next generation of product they are bringing to the market, will further support this mission.”
BRP has remained a sponsor of SLSA for the past five years, having provided equipment for over 160 clubs around Australia. Through the BRP Equipment Grant, the company has proven its commitment to SLSA in assisting with the delivery of lifesaving equipment since its establishment in 2009.
“Surf Life Saving (SLSA) is an iconic community service across Australia. BRP’s products are well suited to the demanding surf conditions and provide the unparalleled maneuverability and high performance essential for effective beach patrols,” said Gregoire DuPont, Vice President and Regional General Manager BRP Asia-Pacific.
