The other day, we had a comment posted on the blog from a surfer grateful for the Coastguard team attending Durlston Bay "watching" the surfers and making sure they were safe, it was nice to be acknowledged in that way.
"Watching" is a huge part of the Coastguard role, and yes the author of the thank you was correct in saying that education would be a good idea in those conditions as there was several inexperienced surfers out in conditions which were extreme .
Where we can, we talk to the various groups of people pointing out various local issues and "request" they wear the correct safety equipment however we can not stop people doing something (in certain situations the police may be able to help us if an individual is putting other peoples lives in danger but this is a very rare).
