| | Extractor Rescue Sled Lifesaving for Government Military, Search And Rescue, and Coast Guard Homeland Defence ... |
 | | Once again, the Extractor sled, using the same design principles that it takes to allow a surfboard ride on a wave face, perform rail to rail turns without digging in, and track a path without sliding out or fishtailing, is the innovator of this concept and has been using it for over a decade. |
 | | It has only been recently that some of the bodyboard sled manufacturers have tossed away their flat-rockered designs and have begun to use a sled with some rolled vee in the sled bottoms so that the sled turns easier and does not dig a rail. |
 | | The first sled designed and developed by Dan Elias over a decade ago, originally, was used by local lifeguards for hauling lobster traps out of the surf zone so that surfers would not get their leashes tangled up in them, as well as, for rescuing swimmers in distress. |
