This is Yutaka,s –  Story:
Arriving in Australia as a representative for the Japanese and Gold Coast City Council Lifeguard Service International Lifeguard Exchange Program. Yutaka fell in love with Australia and soon applied for a Student visa and started studying in Australia as a chef working part time as a Professional Lifeguard. Yutaka started training for the Coolangatta Gold.  As Yutaka had a surfing  fitness background we had a base to start with. Never being on a Surf Ski before we had to start from scratch. However we had 2 years to prepare.
