BRP assists Surf Life Saving

BRP and Surf Life Saving Australia (SLSA) have announced the launch of the 2013 BRP Powercraft Equipment Grant.

As part of this new grant, BRP will be offering a total of $360,000 worth of equipment to Surf Life Saving affiliated clubs and services across Australia. This will allow them to purchase heavily-subsidised approved powercraft for essential patrolling duties.

As a sponsor and official powercraft provider to Surf Life Saving , BRP Australia has had selected units within the Sea-Doo Personal Watercraft (PWC) and Can-Am Side-by-Side Vehicles (SSV) range approved for SLS clubs around the country.

Within the Sea-Doo range, the GTI 130 has been approved for SLS branches around Australia.

SLS has selected Sea-Doo as their Rescue Water Craft of choice for use in demanding surf conditions. Offering the latest in safety features including a unique on-water braking system. Likewise for the Can-Am range of Off-Road Vehicles, SLS has approved the use of the Can-Am Commander 800R with its superior stability, rider-focused design, greater towing capacity and soft-sand performance.

SLSA’s National Coastal Safety Services Manager, Matt Thompson believes the grant will be of great benefit to the selected clubs: "This grant will give clubs greater opportunities to purchase essential surf life saving powercraft which ultimately means beach patrols will operate more efficiently and effectively.”
