Safety at Events
At IPAR S.A.R., we provide water safety services for all types of events taking place in aquatic environments.
We have experience covering sporting events such as open water swims, triathlons, regattas, and surf competitions, as well as large-scale and cultural events held near the sea where a safety operation is required.
We design a specific safety plan for each event, assessing factors such as the number of participants, risk and evacuation areas, weather conditions, and more.
We ensure active prevention based on constant monitoring, with immediate rescue response and initial medical assistance.
To carry out these operations safely and effectively, we rely on rescue boats and jet skis operated by highly qualified personnel.
Comprehensive services for audiovisual productions in aquatic environments
We provide specialized support for filming in aquatic environments, offering safe transport for cameras, actors, and technical crews using jet skis and support vessels.
Our experience in demanding maritime conditions allows us to facilitate access to complex locations while ensuring the safety of the entire film crew.
Safety at Big Wave challenges
Our passion for big wave surfing is the origin of IPAR S.A.R.
Rescues in such demanding environments and under extreme sea conditions have been our school. Over the years, these experiences have shaped the way we operate as skippers and rescue lifeguards in the most challenging situations.
The knowledge and experience gained in this environment have allowed us to be part of rescue teams in internationally renowned competitions such as La Vaca Gigante, Punta Galea Challenge, and the Tudor Nazaré Big Wave Challenge, among others.
Experience and Featured Projects
Safety and Logistics in the Filming of Todo lo que nunca fuimos
We coordinated the comprehensive prevention and maritime safety device for the technical and artistic crew. Our involvement was key to the filming process, providing stable platforms for camera operators during water-based action scenes and ensuring safe access to hard-to-reach coastal locations.
Thanks to our expertise in complex maritime environments, we managed critical risks to ensure a dynamic and secure workflow on one of the most anticipated film productions of the year.

Safety in Sport Events
We coordinate safety at flagship events along our coastline, such as the Getaria–Zarautz Swim, the Donostia Island Swim, as well as various triathlons and regattas, among others. Thanks to our rescue jet skis and vessels, we ensure constant surveillance and immediate response, allowing athletes and organizers to operate with complete confidence in demanding maritime environments under a highly professional safety setup.

Technical Rescue and Safety Coverage in Surf Competitions
We have extensive experience as a safety team in surf championships, including big-wave events and highly technical competitions. We have been part of the safety teams at events such as La Vaca Gigante and surf competitions in Mundaka, two of the most demanding locations in the country.
Our work focuses on active surveillance from jet skis, immediate assistance to surfers in critical situations, and risk management in challenging environments. Thanks to our rapid response capability and deep knowledge, we help ensure that highly demanding competitions are carried out under the highest safety standards.
