This original Vaer film pays tribute to the members of the North Shore Lifeguards Association (NSLA)—a fearless team entrusted with protecting Hawaii’s most dangerous and sacred coastline. Vaer is the official wristwatch sponsor of NSLA.

For decades, the NSLA has set the global standard in ocean safety, pioneering rescue techniques in conditions few dare to enter. Told through the voices of lifeguards past and present, this story explores the emotional highs and sobering realities of saving lives on the front lines of one of Earth’s most volatile environments.

Set against the backdrop of towering winter swells and crystal blue beaches, this film is a reminder that behind every rescue is a lifeguard who answered the call.
