Surfers Make the Best Lifeguards in Hawaii?
- "The lifeguards here are unlike lifeguards anywhere else in the world. Here in Hawai'i, the lifeguard service really is the surfing community. We wanted to hire surfers because we need people who understand the ocean and are not afraid of it. That's the roots of our organization, and that's what sets it apart from any other ocean service anywhere." - quote by Hawaii lifeguard Jim Howe, appearing in the book, Eddie Would Go: The Story of Eddie Aikau, Hawaiian Hero, by Stuart Holmes Coleman, MindRaising Press, 2001, pg. 87.
