Kind of hilarious how calmly and relaxed he paddles out into the rough water cause you know the guy in the water and his buddies on the boat were freaking out lmao

Hes got the Eddie aikau spirit like most all surfers willing to put our lives on the line to save others

[@neoladams8519]

Good thing the guy that fell overboard was wearing a life jacket... Oh, wait he wasn't. Stupid not to have one on in those conditions. A big SALUTE to the brave surfer that saved that man's life, he is a hero... 👏🤟👏👏👏👏🏄‍♂

[@Isaac_132]

But it's not cool to wear a life jacket tho.

[@TterribleTexasTJ]

Exactly! Rough conditions and outlet known to eat boats, life vest, NAH! It especially blows my mind how many boats with CHILDREN on them going out, no life vests on! WTF?

[@n40tom]

Almost no one wears a PFD or life jacket if that's what you want to put it just about no one other than children

[@FrEeWaY7k]

maybe he starts wearing them now, for sure all children's should. Really hate to see those situations especially.

[@leewahler3058]

Besides no PFD, There was no flotation device née life ring deployed. I didn't see and line thrown either

If they had them on the boat they prob didn't even know where they were. Everything they did was wrong! Made my stomach sink watching.

[@breeez327]

Or the throwable, that's what they're for but I suspect the captain didn't know or panicked and forgot. Don't want to be sitting sideways in those waves in the first place.

[@jamesnelson6980]

Any experienced mariner, with a boat that size, would have looked at the conditions, headed back to the marina, opened a beer and said, "Nope. Not today."

[@leealan6416]

Yep. Only a very experienced person in a large arse boat would consider goug out in those conditions. Even then you would need to second guess your decision.

@ Good point. Sit at a boat ramp, and you see stupid often. Lots of people who own boats and Jet Ski's are brain dead.

[@ferney2936]

I'm guessing, since it was a group of young men, that they all wanted a bit of an adventure & the captain thought they'd go out to have a look at the seas with the idea that if it was too rough they could always turn around. Looks like they did try to but that put them beam on to big waves and that's really dangerous as we see.

[@moregrouchy]

Throw a throwable floatation device, throw two or three at your target. Point at your target for the helmsman to follow. Do not stop pointing as the boat bounces around. Without that surfer rescuer, this likely would have been a drowning recovery.

[@jeffersondavis69]

Yea, nobody on that boat had a clue what to do

[@LewisTheFly888]

This is basic excellent advice. All boaters should read this

[@moregrouchy]

When you fall overboard raise one arm up to touch the sky while they come back to save you. Your arm becomes a beacon much easier to see than half a head on the water's surface.

Wow!!! I was on the edge of my seat the entire video. I am so thankful for those people who put their own lives on the line to help others. Great video, thank you for sharing.

[@sixstringedthing]

Passenger: "hey we lost a guy overboard!" Captain: immediately throws the props into reverse and pulls a sloppy three-point turn like he's trying to negotiate a parking lot in his SUV. What absolute clowns. Props to the surfer who very probably saved the guys life in some pretty wild and woolly conditions. Trying very clearly at 02:15 to get the idiot driving the boat to back off, then clearly indicating they should just head in because they not going to be any help in that swell. The "captain" didn't realise a damn thing, he was told to go away.

[@pinz5358]

Everything that captain did was wrong in the entire video. 1) Deciding to go out 2) Almost flipping a boat 3) No lifejackets 4) His maneuvering after man goes overboard. 5) Almost running over guys in water 6) Almost dumps guy after they rescue him by accelerating with guy on stern, ladder down and rope in water. Complete clown. Shouldn't ever be allowed to drive a boat again.

[@sixstringedthing]

@@pinz5358 Nicely summed up mate. Cheers from Sydney

[@joeybagadonuts3471]

Surfer you're a hero my friend. Well done! You're in my prayers tonight. Also....no reason for that boat not to have a throwable life ring attached to at least 50 feet of line.

The surfboard is so underrated. Surfboards always find their way back to shore, even if the surfer is exhausted.

[@silverstarflite135]

I've watched these video's hundreds of times watching boats head out in absolutely dangerous conditions. What the heck! A captain's first and primary responsibility is to the safety of their passengers. These conditions are a slam dunk no go. No boat should be heading out in conditions like this. Ever.

[@wallysworld5518]

Kudos to the surfer!

[@stigalda]

A big salute to the surfer, a true hero! A big slap in the face to that crew, for going out in these conditions, and not wearing a life jacket!

[@ggl159]

That’s the type of weather that I just sit at the slip and clean the boat. Then sit and relax having drinks and snacks onboard. Or at the Dockside TiKi Hut.

[@godshandbigfootofalabama4686]

When the saved man rejoins his buddies, nobody greets him with a hug out of friendship for him. The boat driver didn't even look at him. That was probably colder than the water he was in.

[@conradlogan5201]

First sign of trouble ahead was the boat heading to sea, and the fenders still hanging over the sides (totally unprepared and under experienced)

[@winstonsmith4003]

The fenders hanging over the sides says it all

[@scottp.5161]

[@timtam6442]

Flagrant endangerment of life. Skipper should be prosecuted for stupidity

[@joanmurphy-tr2kb]

Perfect example of “Just because you can doesn’t mean you should” Just because you can afford to buy a big fancy boat doesn’t mean you should be allowed to drive it. Look how many others risked their lives to fix what he caused.

[@calilifestyle11]

The surfer should get a medal for the save. The boat crew and the human bobber should get a ban for their incompetence in reading the water conditions and failure to prep for an emergency with even the most basic of items such as a life vest.

[@gpslightlock1422]

I ran through that inlet for 10 years while I kept my boat in Deerfield Beach (south side of Boca inlet). There were a few times it was too bad to come back in so we always headed south to Lighthouse Point and back up the ICW to Deerfield Beach. Awesome fishing over there.

The surfer saved this mans life , that boat captain wasn't thinking about throwing a line to this man and I think he doesn't ever have another passenger until he learns about the basis life saving courses provided by the US Coast Guard.

WIN for the surfer, FAIIL for the boat crew.

[@jamesw.6931]

I have been on the water since working on a commercial gill net boat in 1968. Owned various speed boats and cruisers with a Baja Outlaw currently in my shop. I have never seen such a lack of skills or common sense, as depicted by the videos on this channel. Children with no life jackets sitting on the bow, overloaded boats, jet skis with clueless operators in dangerous conditions, boats with a lack of service etc...

[@davidbrayshaw3529]

I grew up on the water. The beach was my back yard. I dinghy raced, board sailed, fished, snorkelled, raced keel boats, the lot. I've seen plenty of idiot jet ski operators, but the number of bozo boat operators on this channel makes me want to cry for humanity. How stupid have we become.

[@chadd9637]

I liked him trying to back up against the waves with a fairly open transom. That was a great idea. Not.

[@antoniodeoliveira6424]

The only smart dude the surfer man

[@cschelin]

While it could have been tragic, without experience on rough waters, you don’t learn. You can get as much book learning as you can but it doesn’t really bring the feel of losing someone overboard and then trying to maneuver the boat around to recover them. Especially in rough waters. There were certainly mistakes made. No life jackets being worn, no briefing by the captain on how to act on a boat in an emergency situation, just tough it out and hope we don’t lose anyone or the boat. Some lessons are easy. Some are hard. Hopefully the captain and passengers learned something today.

"The Captain realizes it's too dangerous to board the man in these conditions and heads back in." This is borderline criminal in my book.

[@KasperiVonSchrowe]

In this situation, people should remain calm. Take 10 to 30 seconds to just assess the situation. If I were the skipper on that boat, I've prepared a line and some floating item (life saver for example) and calmly drive idle speed next to the swimmer. Then pull him along the stream to more open water where waves were not that high, set propellers to neutral and pull the guy back to boat. Now they were zigzagging half planing in panic totally uncontrolled. They never gave themselves the time to think.
