Sydney’s Bondi Beach is one of Australia’s most iconic locations. Famous across the globe for its crystal white sand, surfing culture, bustling promenade and trendy bars – it’s the place that everyone wants to be seen.

At the centre of Bondi’s success are the lifeguards, those who put their lives on the line to keep the beaches safe, 365 days a year. They know the rips, the currents, the tide and the dangers of the local beach.

In Stories from the Bondi Lifeguards, five of Bondi’s most recognised men; Hoppo, Maxi, Reidy, Harries and Kerrbox, provide a personal and behind the scenes insight into their story and what life is like as an on-duty lifeguard on one of the world’s most popular beaches.

They tell their story of friendship and support and share the highs and lows of the job and tales of the rigorous training that earns them the coveted Bondi Lifeguard title. This funny and heartwarming book is the ideal companion for any lover of Bondi Beach or fan of the hit TV show Bondi Rescue.
