Key features of the new Rapid Extraction Board include:

  • Purpose-Built for Water Rescue: Unlike generic spine boards, the Rapid Extrication Board is tailored for aquatic environments. It offers the perfect balance of buoyancy, rigidity, and low drag for smooth maneuverability.
  • Fast, Low-Friction Recovery: The new Rapid Extraction Board’s surface texture and streamlined shape enable rescuers to quickly position and move unconscious victims with minimal effort, which is vital for safe extrication and rapid transition to CPR.
  • Compact and Lightweight: The board folds into a very compact shape, making it ideal for easy storage, especially on space-limited vessel.

The new board is ideal for the following environments:

  • Dive teams
  • Public safety agencies
  • Commercial diving operations
  • Aquatic training centers

The Rapid Extrication Board retails for US$849/~€772.75/~£680.52.
