Surf Ironman:

Surf Ironman is an event that is made up of Board, Ski, Swim and Sprinting. During a Surf Ironman the lifeguard paddles and runs around a set course, that encompasses all elements that the ocean may throw at the lifeguard. The race covers the cumulative distance of a ski, board, swim and sprint race. The event typically takes between 15 - 18 minutes to compete and is made to test even the most skillful lifeguard. Essentially the event aims to simulate what a lifeguard may have to do in the case of a mass rescue.

If you are interested in training to become an Surf Ironman then please follow the training times below or make contact with John Bryant (Spindles) on 0272214322.
