Course teaching surfers to be lifesavers

Surfing New Zealand is running free courses across Aotearoa, teaching surfers how to rescue fellow surfers, swimmers, fishers and boaties. The course was designed in Australia, where it's estimated 60 percent of rescues in the open ocean are performed by recreational surfers. This means often surfers are often the first responders to people who get into trouble while out in the water. Bella Craig reports.
