Who We Are. . .

Surf Lifesaving del Sur is a non-profit organization founded by career lifeguards Jimmy Canale and Laine Pepper in 2006.  The dream of professional lifesaving services for the Baja Peninsula, one Jimmy and Laine have shared through 25 years of surfing its often treacherous coastline, became a reality with our first lifeguard academy in Cabo San Lucas in September of 2004.  More than a dozen academies later, we have successfully trained and equipped a core group of lifeguards from the ranks of both Los Cabos fire departments, as well as members of the Red Cross and dozens of hotel security personnel.  Critical lifesaving rescues have already been performed by graduates of the program, realizing our dream of "one life saved".

As lifeguards, we feel that any preventable drowning is unacceptable, and continue conducting training and equipping lifesavers in Los Cabos through the dedication of our volunteers and the gracious commitment of the Cabo San Lucas Fire Department.

Surf Lifesaving del Sur's vision is to continue expanding the training and response of existing lifeguards, while elevating lifesaving personnel and equipment to the professional level, providing Los Cabos residents and visitors with an international standard in aquatic safety.  Through public education and information, we intend to further our impact in drowning prevention.  Ultimately, our efforts will be to create perpetual funding for lifesaving services in Los Cabos through aquatic programs, government and corporate sponsorship, and private donations.
