Coast Guard, Honolulu Fire Department and Ocean Safety and Lifeguard Services crews conducted joint training on Oahu's North Shore Nov. 7, 2017, ahead of the island's famed annual high surf season. The three agencies are the primary responders to incidents in the nearly seven mile long surf zone off Oahu's North Shore which draws surfers from all over the world every winter, where swells can reach heights of more than 30 feet and are very dangerous even for experienced surfers.
