Riding the waves of safety in Punta Mita: The ASI Surf Water Rescue Award

Surfing is a popular and exciting sport enjoyed by many around the world. However, like any water activity, there is always a risk of accidents and emergency situations. To ensure the safety of surfers and beachgoers in Punta Mita, it is essential to have trained and qualified individuals who can recognize and respond to emergencies quickly and effectively.

This is why the team Punta Mita Ocean Sports took part in the ASI Surf Water Rescue Award training imparted by the ASI and Surf Mexico team of instructors, last year in September.

One of the most recognized and respected certifications for surf rescue is the ASI Surf Rescue Award. This course teaches students how to recognize and respond to emergency situations, apply surf rescue techniques, and conduct water rescues of both conscious and unconscious patients.
