Product Highlights

The Extractor PRO water rescue board from EXTRACTOR of California has been an industry standard for quick rescue pick ups in the surfline, rivers and other near shore situations for the past 20 years. This model, due to its size and weight, is designed for use with pwcs where a single rescue operator is available to operate the pwc, or may be used in situations where a rescue swimmer is used to assist the victim.
