About the event
Bixente Lizarazu supports Rescue 2014
" Ocean lifesaving is a noble discipline practiced by men and women for whom I have a profound admiration. First, because they save lives, but also because of their relationship with the sea, which is portrayed in the experience and humility next to this natural element."
