Gunnar Moeller but he has the courage to go up and save him in massive waves putting his life in danger

Deniece Smith, Realtor i

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

@@Kevin-id7xk Only the fulltimers are called lifeguards. Only a few metropolitan beaches have them. The rest are lifesavers...the volunteers. I am one of them. We are members of The Royal Lifesaving Society.

Sportmen's style. Respect.

Your self but we will save you

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 :)

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.

Great word.

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

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.

J Iaela well he is also a lifeguard right there at Ehukai beach park these days, so that may have something to do with it

All balls, and the guts to charge, respect and God's got you , but b cool GOD is real busy now days.

where was this

That’s fucked up.

Dead weight , no pun intended, is a lot more heavier that alive weight. The person Feels like their twice as heavy as they really are. Job Well done

How it should be at a beach like that. The Lifeguards job is probably 99.9 % just making sure tourists don't go out there!

Old post but the life guard stand is I would say over a football field away from pipeline so they wouldn't know until they saw everyone running in or someone calls them

bsmb091011 B in lifeguard training we are taught how to scan our water and we have binoculars that we frequently use. Had a rescue this summer that I saw from my stand before the public saw it. I ran about 150 yards to the victim.

It's a big beach. Not possible to have guards stationed every meter. The guy survived.

And tamega (who got to him first) was off duty LG
