What is the background of Rescue: HI-Surf?

The setting of the drama in Hawaii aligns with the story's background. The harsh waters align with the storyline when the lifeguards are rescuing people from the ocean.

"I've lived on the North Shore of Oahu for most of my life, and these are our heroes, the most extraordinary extreme athletes anywhere."
