In the world of water safety, having reliable equipment is crucial for effective and timely rescues. Chris O’Rorke from SLSNSW recently shared his thoughts on the fleet of Red Rescue 10’6″ Prone Rescue Inflatable Rescue Boards that have become such an important part of the toolkit over the past two seasons. He highlights just how impressive our inflatable boards have proven to be in real-world lifeguard and event safety operations. From inland waterways to high-energy aquatic events, the boards have become an indispensable tool for their lifeguard teams, and it’s easy to see why.

Inflatable vs. Hardboard: Performance that Rivals the Best

At first glance, it may not seem like a standard inflatable board could measure up to their hardboard counterparts, especially in terms of performance. However, the Red Rescue Prone Board defies these expectations. The board’s lightweight and durable design allows for swift deployment, which is a critical advantage in emergency situations. Unlike hardboards, which can be cumbersome and difficult to transport, the inflatable board’s compact nature ensures that it can be rapidly inflated and ready to go in mere minutes.

When it comes to performance, Red Rescue 10’6″ offer impressive stability and buoyancy. Providing an exceptional and reliable rescue platform, not just for the rescuer but also for the patient being rescued. What really sets the Red Rescue board apart is the stiffness and performance that brings. With the patented RSS battening system and the board taking as much as 22-25 psi of air pressure, the board is rock solid and performs like no other inflatable would.

Built for Tough Conditions

A common concern about inflatables is their ability to withstand harsh conditions. After all, these boards are often used heavy surf, around rocks and other abrasive elements that could damage more fragile materials. However, as proven by lifesavers across the world, our Red Rescue boards hold in some of the most demanding environments on the planet

Despite frequent use in beach conditions that are often unpredictable, the board remains reliable, durable, and consistently high-performing.

Quick Setup, Easy Storage: The Ultimate Convenience

In addition to its high performance, one of the standout benefits of the inflatable board is its ease of use. Setup takes mere minutes, and when the job is done, packing it down is just as effortless. This means less time spent preparing and more time focusing on the task at hand. And when it comes to storage and transport, the lightweight, compact nature of the inflatable board makes it a breeze to carry and store, even in tight spaces.

Reliability Under Pressure

In the fast-paced world of lifeguarding and event safety, reliability is non-negotiable. The Red Rescue Inflatable Rescue Board’s consistent performance, regardless of the setting, makes it a trusted asset for water safety operations. Whether deployed in the middle of an event or for a routine patrol, this board has proven time and again to be a vital part of the team’s toolkit.

Don’t just take our word for it
