Hoppo
Still the top man on Bondi Beach, Hoppo is back.
bondi rescue

Over the past 10 years he's been involved in mass rescues, body retrievals and more resuscitations than any other lifeguards, earning the Australian Lifeguard of the year award in 2006



As well as being a strong leader, he's a well respected waterman and competitor, recently winning two gold medals at the Australian Surf Life Saving titles in the double ski and board paddle.

He expects this season to be the busiest yet seen on Bondi and as such is rallying the troops to the challenge.
