Rescue at Pipeline Jamie O'Brien, Guilherme Tamega

[@elielmo08]

Tamega is a very decent dude. He help my buddy Eric get out of a very nasty situation in a massive swell in the north coast of Puerto Rico. My buddy got caught in the inside , 12 footers pounding him hard , Tamega came out of nowhere and got him to safety. This shit happen back in 1995 - 1997.

GT and O'Brien are two solid watermen. Respect.

[@luismarques1938]

Guilherme Tâmega a great waterman thank god you were there man, bodyboard comunity is proud of you 😊

[@jimmylabragotto5975]

Amazing to see Tamega making the first approach out there, taking big waves on the head while holding the unconcious bodyboarder. Great respect

[@MegaKikeGasGas]

Jimmy Labragotto That's freaking SIIIIIIIIC😎😎😎😎 I PULLED A GUY OF A FREEWAY ONCE, military guy! Dude had been shot at a patking structure near the FREEWAY, he stumbled right on to it... IT WAS INTENSE JUST LIKE THIS SITUATION OR CLOSE TO IT. HE WAS THANKFUL.

[@sushimamba4281]

To me this is humanity at its best. Congratulations guys. These guys are amazing to achieve what they did to get him in. I've surfed there and it's so treacherous, just navigating that inshore rip is a feat in itself.

Thank "J" God for everyone that was there to assist this gentleman. And his safe return to his FAMILY. God Bless every single one of you!

[@sugewhitejacoby8654]

I was a lifeguard on the North shore for a couple years back in the 80's . The North Shore is no joke. I had the Coast Guard pull me and my drowning victim out of the water several times. There was no way I was getting me and a semi conscious person to shore in 8-10 ft surf , so we had a way to signal on shore for the person on shore to call for help! Some scary days back before everyone had Wave Runners and Cell Phones!!

[@theyoungupstarts1243]

Kudos, Suge!

[@starseed1352]

Tamega Is A Champion Bodyboarder And A Champion Human Being !

[@pwengineering9070]

Great job guys. Always being alert of your surrounds makes you an ideal human being and prepares you to succeed in the very worse that life can throw at you. Watch and be aware of everything going on around you, then attack the most difficult situations.

When we surf there might not always be good wil felt between each other. But when something goes wrong almost all of us will help a fellow human being in need

team work is a beautiful thing well done

[@TechnikMeister2]

All over the world, lifesavers (as we call them) risk their lives to save people who get into difficultiesin the ocean. The bulk are volunteers who give up the leisure time to be on duty. We hold all our first responders in the highest respect. There is no greater honour than to have saved a fellow human beings life.

We call them lifeguards in Australia. they do an incredible job!

Nothing but respect for North Shore Crew!!

[@mrbump28]

What's scary is how innocuous the wipeout was.

[@hgfs6479]

Thats right. But in technical terms it want even a freaking wipeout. Just a barrel attempt. Unfortunately, this guy went from such a lovely feeling of being inside of a closeout, to a big bump on the reef. I suspect there is are two weight zones where over a reef less than 6ft you can bump your head most likely, even when pulling into a barrel. 1. Say Under ~140 lbs 2. Probably over 240 lbs Why can it be worse for those under 140 lbs? Well, if you fail to position yourself in the best manner during a closeout barrel, the wave can easily finds your center of mass and leads your head or feet first into the reef. Bad! A person weighing over 240 lbs possibly weigh his board down! (Like in the video); results in significant slow down on the board, and forces the bodyboarder to realign his/her board in order to have the best chance of being blown out the back, instead of going forwards with the lip bearing down on you. Regardless of your weight, if you practice preventing bottom contact at hollow beachbreaks and try to avoid sand burn while pulling into heavy, slamming waves, you'll have a really good chance at keeping the head away from the reef. This is just based off of my experiences in not breaking my neck in two feet of water at my homebreak for the last decade :)

[@striper37]

Wipeout wasn't innocuous. Super late takeoff and got drilled by the lip of the wave. Took the brunt of all of the waves energy right on his head.

[@ThePerpetualStudent]

Great word.

[@tommack8650]

@@striper37 Yeah back of head which is softest part. Like a Mike Tyson sucker punch! Ouch...

[@lateapex9420]

Yeah, I'd say weight of the lip landing square on his head and back knocked him out. I'm not sure about the math but that must be like getting hit by a 250lb NFL linebacker for sure.

[@will6016]

[@Peexuus]

Sorry for the maybe dumb question, but i am no surfer and i don't have an idea of how these waves work and so on, but could someone please explain me why exactly this guy got nocked out?

[@jimfitz1432]

It’s hard to tell from this video. But it looks like he took the lip of the wave right on the head /back. Which is enough to KO you very easily. It’s also possible that the energy from the wave breaking on him. Bounced him off the reef. The reef is actually fossilized rock or lava. If you look how the water is moving. You can see it’s a very shallow day. Probably only 3-5 of water on the reef in best case scenario there that day. It would be like jumping out your second story window and landing head first or even secondarily through whiplash onto a concrete sidewalk. Without actually talking to him it’s very hard from this video alone to diagnosis the exact injury point/cause. But I’m going with a 95% chance it’s one of those two things or a combination of them both happening here.
