Warm Winds and Following Seas: Reflections of a Lifeguard in Paradise

by Mike Brousard

 

2018, Paperback, on LULU Books , $27.99, 476 Pages. Ocean Lifeguards make tens of thousands of rescues every year on the fabled, crowded beaches of Southern California. “Warm Winds and Following Seas: Reflections of a Lifeguard in Paradise” tells their stories, recounts their challenges and rescues, and illustrates the pressures of a misunderstood, high profile and physically difficult profession. From the rite of passage of Lifeguard Training, to the grit and grind of surf rescues and piloting rescue boats in big waves, to life-threatening saves in the icy waters of Northern California, this journey into the world of Ocean Lifeguards offers a fresh perspective on open water lifesaving and these unsung heroes of the coastline.
