** Help us grow! SUBSCRIBE to our channel! ** Ocean Lifeguard Specialist Nick Macko describes the events leading up to his Medal of Valor winning Ocean Rescue.
Came here from the Forbes article. Great job. But we need to take a close look at the 400k salaries loaded up with overtime crippling our state budget especially when the lifeguards were arresting people for paddle boarding last summer in Malibu.
My ENORMOUS admiration for the bravery and skills and character of Nick Macko is unfortunately almost eclipsed by the ignorance and carelessness of the swimmers who chose to do this. It seems like any human of any age can look at that location and say, this is not a smart place to swim.
It’s not the size of the waves it’s the size of the swells that matter. There’s a beach where I live, it’s nickname is mortuary Beach. The waves don’t even break there. But people get sucked out and drown all the time.
