Nippers hailed for daring surf rescue.

This coast is just full of little "nippers" training to be lifesavers one day. When we go to the different beaches at weekends early morning there are these petite nippers (girls and boys) everywhere - training and having a lot of fun. Well a couple of days ago these two 8 year olds noticed a middle-aged man struggling in a rip off the Gold Coast's Northcliffe beach - the pint sized pair, who both live on the Gold Coast, together pulled the man, who was swimming "outside the flags", onto their board. They saw this man put his hand up and say "help, help - so we paddled over to him so he could hold onto our board until an adult lifesaver leapt into action to complete the final part of the rescue".

These two (Spencer and Jake) are still not at the age in nippers for the "rescue training" portion, that is still a couple of years away. Great little kids, they were absolutely "wags" when interviewed on TV.
