Portreath Surf Life Saving Club. Voluntary Lifesaving since 1958.

Portreath Surf Life Saving Club was started by a dozen or so pioneers in 1958 and each summer since then its members have given up their spare time to patrol the popular holiday beach on the north Cornish coast.

A great evening for the club last night at the St Ives Surf Life Saving Club Biathlon, with our youth, open, masters and novices all racing. The club had so many good results, which included Ross Keeler winning the historic Biathlon, Toby and Ellie winning both the boys and girls and George and Emily winning the team race. Well done to everyone who took part, well done to St Ives Surf Life Saving Club for organising and thanks to the RNLI Penwith Lifeguards for providing safety cover.

*In Memory of Dave Cook*

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of former Senior Lifeguard Dave Cook, who served in Swanage and was a much-valued member of the RNLI lifeguard family.

Dave was a dedicated lifeguard, accomplished sportsman, and a familiar and respected figure within the local surfing community. His passion for the ocean shaped much of his life and inspired many who had the privilege of knowing and working alongside him.

Among his many achievements, Dave became the first Briton to complete the Texan Challenge in South Africa in 1983, an extraordinary 244km endurance paddling event. Of the three British competitors who took part, Dave was the only one to finish, placing an impressive 23rd out of 122 finishers. It was a remarkable accomplishment that reflected the determination, resilience, and adventurous spirit for which he was known.

Dave also competed in Surf Lifesaving Championships, representing Portreath Surf Life Saving Club in the UK and competing internationally on Australia’s Gold Coast, proudly representing the sport and community he loved.

Whilst his achievements were exceptional, those who knew Dave will remember him for much more than his accomplishments. He was a respected lifeguard, surfer, teammate and friend whose love of the sea, commitment to lifesaving, and connection with others left a lasting impression on all who crossed his path.

Our thoughts are with Dave’s wife, family, friends, and all those whose lives he touched through surfing, lifesaving and friendship.

Rest in peace, Dave.

A lifeguard, a surfer, a friend, and a true waterman. Your legacy lives on in the waves, the beaches, and the people you inspired. We’ll see you in the lineup, Dave. 🌊🧡
