The Portuguese Surfing School Association (AESP) and the Instituto de Socorros a Náufragos (ISN) have been collaborating in order to bring surfing closer to aquatic rescue along the entire national coast.

This partnership, whose beginning was marked with a set of training actions directed to Surf Schools and their employees, called Surf & Rescue, also resulted in the creation of this form.

Although it is common knowledge that Surf Schools and Coaches, as well as the entire surfing community, make an important contribution to assisting people in danger on our beaches, these occurrences are often not registered. It is important to account for the true contribution that the surfing community in Portugal makes to water safety and rescue, and this form is intended to facilitate this registration.

This is a form intended not only for Surf Schools, but for everyone and everyone who practices surfing in waves who find themselves somehow involved in rescue situations or assistance to people in danger on the beaches.

Everyone's contribution is essential! The greater the involvement and participation of our community, the more reliable the data will be and the greater the value given to the importance of wave sports in Portugal.

Participate and spread the word!
