It’s not much of a secret these days: The Surf City Beach Patrol women are a powerhouse crew. After battling through rough ocean conditions to win last year, they proved their power and prowess again on July 31, capturing a second straight victory in the Long Beach Township Beach Patrol Women’s Invitational Tournament.

“We have a lot of depth with our women, and they’re motivated to do their best all the time, no matter what they’re doing,” said race team captain Collette Pretre.
