Why select the pouch bag?
The story behind this one
Given to little nippers after their first surf lifesaving season.
Across Australia, families have been gifting Sandy to children who have just completed their first season as a nipper. A way to mark the moment. To say: you showed up, you were brave, you looked out for others.
Sandy is for the beach kid. The one who runs into the waves without hesitation, already knows the flags, and takes patrol seriously, even at six.
He has been chosen by surf clubs, by proud parents on presentation day, and by grandparents wanting to celebrate exactly who their grandchild is becoming.
Pairs beautifully with Shaz the Sunbaker, because every lifesaver needs someone to keep an eye on.
