Surfing Western Australia hosts over 30 regional and metropolitan surf events to cater to our ever expanding membership of short boarders, long boarders, body boarders and SUP riders throughout WA. Thanks to long term sponsor HIF, Surfing WA has our own PWC for event water safety. As the associations Events Manager, I have employed the expert skills of Perry and Paul from Water Patrol Australia on many occasions to provide the best possible care for our members both in and out of the water.
All surfing events come with some inherent risks, but I have great confidence in the experience and qualifications that both Perry & Paul bring to the table. No swell too big or wind too strong for these guys, they’re hard-core and well respected within the state, national and international surfing community.
The service provided by Water Patrol Australia was extremely professional when we have utilised their services for a variety of purposes. They have a team that knows all surf conditions and camera requirements needed to capture the perfect shots which is a unique combination required for cinematography.
The Water Patrol Aus team was always well ahead of start time and new the changing conditions of the ocean second to none. Their experience in Surf conditions was outstanding and made my job as Water Director or Photography extremely easy as Water Men Water Patrol Aus always had me in the right position at the right time without causing any disturbances to the Production. I would recommend Water Patrol Australia for any Event or Production. I will be using WPA again without hesitation.
South West Bodyboard Club was stoked with the level of professionalism and help we received from WPA at 2 of our comps in 2014. It gives the club committee and the members a lot of relief knowing we have WPA looking after us all whilst we are in the water. Perry, Paul and their team are brilliant at what they do and we would have no hesitation in recommending WPA to anyone needing water patrol at an event. We will definitely be using WPA at all future club comps around the South West of WA.
On behalf of Action Sports Games in Mandurah, I have used the services of Water Patrol Australia over the last four years and in that time the team have prevented, assisted and saved a number of world class athletes from either long term injuries or even death.
The services that Water Patrol Australia provide are reasonably priced, professional and punctual. The team are highly trained professionals, have all the required accreditation to do the job, have proper insurances plus all their equipment is well maintained and properly serviced which ensures zero downtime. I would highly recommend Water Patrol Australia to any event promoter, organisation or water sports association where they need a water safety and rescue component to ensure that their event is run safely and the risk is minimised.
In my role as director of Sea Soaring Marine and Training Officer for Margaret River Volunteer Marine Rescue, I have had the opportunity to work with Perry and Paul from Water Patrol Australia on many occasions. This association has included PWC training situations, search and rescue call outs and on-water standby rescue for major events such as the Augusta Adventure Race and X Adventure Triathlon, Dunsborough.
Water Patrol Australia has always provided outstanding service on all occasions, including attendance at pre event briefings, professional conduct during events and providing valuable post event feedback to foster continuous improvement. Punctuality and rapid response when required, are one of the many reasons Water Patrol continues to be the organisation I seek to employ for major event standby rescue roles. I would strongly recommend Water Patrol Australia for any organisation seeking the services of professional, experienced PWC support.
