Surf Rescue Manikin

The Surf Rescue Manikin is a high-performance training manikin developed specifically for lifeguards, coastguards, and water rescue teams operating in dynamic surf and ocean environments. Designed to mimic an unconscious or passive victim in open water, it enables safe, repeatable training under real-world conditions.

This manikin features realistic buoyancy and body proportions that simulate how a human body behaves in rough water. It can be towed, carried, or submerged, making it ideal for surf rescues, IRB (Inflatable Rescue Boat) drills, and helicopter winch training. Built with high-visibility materials and a durable outer shell, it withstands saltwater exposure, UV rays, and repeated use in extreme aquatic conditions.

Key Features:

• Surf-Specific Buoyancy: Designed to float and drift naturally in breaking waves, replicating real rescue targets.

• Durable & UV-Resistant Build: Withstands harsh coastal environments including sun, salt, and sand.

• Realistic Weight & Size: Simulates a full-grown adult victim, available in multiple weight options.

• Towing & Recovery Ready: Integrated handles and reinforced points for IRB, board, or swimmer-assisted rescues.

• Hi-Visibility Design: Easily spotted in turbulent water, enhancing safety and efficiency during training.
