Surfsports are becoming ever more popular, and leading to more and more lifeboat and lifeguard rescues.

With this in mind, the RNLI has published In the Surf, a guide to surfsport safety.

Packed with simple tips for novice surfers, bodyboarders, windsurfers, kayakers, canoeists, kitesurfers and stand-up paddleboarders, look out for the booklet in surf-hire outlets and lifeguard units around the UK.
