Remote rescue tubes have now received the green light to be rolled out through the Noosa National Park — including Alexandria Bay — thanks to strong advocacy from Noosa World Surfing Reserve and our surfing community. One has already been installed at Access 25B near the eastern end of Tea Tree Bay, and I’ll continue working with NWSR to progress the broader rollout. We can’t wait, and last week showed us why.

There was another close call at A‑Bay last week, where three rescuers — including Graham Sanders, father of Noosa lifeguard Rory, and Justin, a part‑time soldier and Troy, a former lifeguard — saved a Queensland family from drowning after they were caught in a powerful rip and dragged towards dangerous rocks.

In a remote, unpatrolled location like A‑Bay, their quick actions prevented what could have been a devastating outcome. These incidents highlight exactly why remote rescue tubes matter. They don’t stop drownings, but they give people a better chance while help is on the way.

We were lucky again — but we cannot keep relying on luck.

I’ll be pushing hard to accelerate this rollout, because remote rescue tubes need to be in place before the next incident, not after it.

A message from our committee member Danielle Tomlinson on surfing safely with hidden medical conditions.

It’s not always something we think about when we paddle out—but it matters. Surf safety goes beyond the visible. Awareness, preparation, and looking out for one another in the water can make all the difference.

Keep our lineup safe and inclusive for everyone. 🌊
