Mavericks Volunteer Rescue
Donation protected
The Mavericks Rescue Team is a network of experienced PWC Rescue Boat Operators and spotters that serve the Mavericks and big wave surfing community by volunteering their time and equipment to provide a safety net over the Mavericks line-up on all major swells.
The RBO's (rescue boat operator) responds to a wide variety of situations, ranging from life threatening and non-life threatening rescues and injuries, vessel assistance and crowd control. Although we place ourselves and our equipment in harms we utilize the "Risk Management" approach developed by the Hawaiian Water Patrol, B.W.R.A.G and Mavericks Rescue Team in order to provide maximum effectiveness and the safest approach and exit on each and every rescue attempt.
Every couple of years we try and raise enough funds to service all of our skis and equipment, buy gas, upgrade our first aid kit and radios and help educate the public on safety out at Mavericks and the surf breaks on the North Coast. This year has started off very busy and it looks like it will not be slowing down anytime soon!
