Lots of pontification here. I'm Bronze Medalian qualified in surf rescue in Australia. You can argue all you like about how it was done, but at the end of the day the swimmer was resued....a good outcome in the end. Could procedures be better, could allocation of resources be better.....sure. There's always lessons that can be learned and improvements made. It's easy to sit in front of a computer screen and say they should have done this and that, and shouldn't have done XYZ, but when you are in the midst of a rescue, you don't have the luxury of analysing the situation, you just do it. It's heartening to see people puting themselves in harms way to help a complete stranger. Maybe civil society hasn't completely collapsed like we tend to think of america from afar. Many of the surf resue techniques where developed on the beaches of Australia, especially the world famous Bondi beach.

I saved four drunk girls with my jetski this summer, it's a 3 seat ski, but 3 adults almost flipped it over , it was a tough rescue. 911 didn't send anyone to help me, because no one was injured yet ? They still call me occasionally to thank me. Storms were rolling in ,they lost their boat a mile of shore, and I was the only one out there jumping waves on my ski when I saw bobbing heads. They got a new lease on life, they were about done when I pulled up. Good thing is , I now get free hair cuts for life, they all are salon workers, just out partying that day.

I live in San Diego and we have had problems with Sunset Cliffs for years. It's a popular spot for the youth (I know I did my fair share of romping around), but people ignore the signs all the time and get to the close to the edge of the cliffs. The cliffs are unstable, and prone to giving away without warning taking whomever is around with it for a 60 foot ride to the bottom of the cliffs. Depending on the tide there may or may not be water beneath you, but there are dozens of underwater caves and there is sometimes a strong surge, so even if there is water you are probably still in trouble. You can't fix stupid.

Excellent coverage Wavy. As for a solution all you have to do is make a flag that says"free Wavy selfies" with a text number. Using your drone to take pics of boaters and beach goers. The problem is trying to hold the phone in position for the shot is counteracting your balance. This can be hard for some people while they are falling off cliffs, balconies, and the rocks at Haul over.

This has become a recurring theme at Haulover Inlet as most of you have seen in my videos. Can anything be done to keep these swimmers safer? Where is everyone watching from? 🌎
