Oh no, a training session/drill was being conducted when a real time incident arose, no doubt initiated by the "evil ones" who were peddaling the device in order to obtain another 'squillion dollars in sales, the same people who for the first time in living memory had 'skipped' their morning surf at Lennox Head, thus avoiding becoming victims of the 'man made' rip, straight to heavy weather, tis, I fear, a conspiracy in the making!

No seriously a good result, if the technology is available then use it, these two youngsters were lucky not to have become statistics and two families have been saved the heartbreak. Bravo to all involved!
Hopefully coming soon to beaches all over the country.
