IMB Bank and Wanda SLSC Unveil New Lifesaving Surf Boat and SSV

Last Sunday, IMB Bank Community Foundation chair Jann Gardner and members of our team were delighted to share a heartwarming day with Wanda SLSC to present their Side-by-Side Vehicle (SSV) and witness the launch of their new surf boat, the Les Townsend. The boat is named after Wanda club legend Leslie Townsend – coach, mentor, sweep of Wanda’s boat crews, and Wanda Life Member.

Purchased with the help of an IMB Bank Community Foundation grant, the SSV will help the 328 Wanda SLSC volunteers respond quickly to emergencies both inside and outside the patrolled areas at Wanda Beach. It will be used for transporting patients, medical supplies, and essential lifesaving equipment, allowing the club to launch their boats faster, improve patrols, enhance community safety, and save lives.
