Motorised Surf Patrols
"With the ever-increasing flow of motor traffic to remote beaches and rivers, the time is fast approaching when the association wdl have to seriously consider the question of the securing of motor surf patrol cars or wagons to convey men and equipment to these places,” states the annual report of the New Zealand Surf LifeSaving Association. "Such an innovation would cost money, but where human lives are in the balance, then this obstacle should be overcome. Here lies an opportunity for local bodies to do their share in the protection of the lives of those who frequent the beaches under their control. It is not suggested that patrols should be paid for their services, but it is claimed ‘that they should be provided with up-to-date methods of transportation to enable the work of protection to proceed on efficient lines.”
