That surf is insane. I've never seen waves that rough so close to shore.

Wonder if the lifeguard was freaking out that so many others were wading out in that to come help. Looks like he told the first guy to get back to shore. Like he needs 8 other people that need rescuing.

I wonder what the net thing was around the kid. The lifeguards were amazing. I know those people want to help, as would I, but you have to listen to the professionals in that situation. Stand back and help when they ask.

Exactly. First big wave he leans back into it like it looks like he was trained to do. Second wave he’s got another guy pulling on him so he can’t lean into it. By the third wave he is able to lean back into it again.

Wendy would have had him out of there with just a stern look.
