Series One The first season, consisting of 17 episodes, began airing on 9 July 2007. The first reason of
Surf Patrol was viewed by an average of 1.45 million people in Australia's mainland
capital cities over the course of the series and was the highest rating program of the week on several occasions.
Series Two Following its highly successful debut in 2007,
Channel 7 and Cornerbox ordered a second season of
Surf Patrol, which began filming on 22 December 2007. The second season consisted of 20 episodes, and covered more beaches than the first series. Surf Lifesaving Australia President, Ron Rankin AM, welcomed the news of a second series and said the program was a tribute to the work of surf lifesavers across the country: "I have travelled around Australia extensively during the Year of the Surf Lifesaver and many people have told me how much they love
Surf Patrol and the realistic portrayal of SLSA members," he said. "We look forward to working closely with Cornerbox and Channel 7 to ensure that the second series portrays the very best of our movement."
Series Three Season three of
Surf Patrol focused on the beaches of
Queensland, primarily the Northern
Gold Coast and
Southport &
Surfers Paradise SLSCs. Many episodes primarily feature Lifesavers Ryan Knight (Lifesaver of the Year), Kenny Lloyd (Surfers Paradise Patrol Captain) and Tom Abella (popular public figure) due to their relative popularity with viewers. The season debuted well, attracting an audience of 1.526 million viewers. ==See also==
