That's intense. I don't know how you can watch everyone at once. So many people getting rolled around. I find I'm holding my breath waiting for the group to reappear. I hope you guys have a way of decompressing after a shift. It has to be stressful, even though you're pros. Thanks for your service!
Great work Mike. I watch your video's everyday and I live in Vegas so I can't be there in person, so thanks so much for the brilliant shots and please keep em coming! Your the best!
awesome thank you ! my mom bro and sister live out in henderson right now i got to visit once so far my mom and bro are trying to move back its just too expensive for them here right now
Oh fuck that, as much as I still want to be surfing waves like that I know its not possible for me anymore. I would never go out without a leash anyway for this very reason and I am a decent swimmer too. I learnt a valuable lesson the one time I did go out wihout a leash and lost my board, if it wasnt for the fact I had fins on I dont think I would have made it back to the beach, I had to lay on the sand for about 10 minutes I was that tired from trying to swim in and avoid the sets coming through. Seeing this reminds me that im a 2-4ft rider these days.
dude i made this mistake in Hawaii, i saw dudes out in the water without fins so i went in, life guards yelled at everyone to swim away from them, took all i had to get back to the shore.
Must have been the guy who ditched his body board on the second bomb that got in trouble. Those were some seriously powerful waves. He must have been knocked silly by the next two.
yeah as of right now i get to comments about once a week been really busy lately as i still work a full time job on top of tubing hopefully not much longer until i can make enough to solely create content
just saying i'm a north shore junior life guard and the life guard was supposed to grab the tube around the guy and swim sideways while supporting him out of the water, just wanted to point that out...but hey at least he is alright
Well I'm glad that we have a junior lifeguard explaining to one of the most professional lifeguard agencies in the world how to do their job lol. I've been life guarding for years, this rescue was textbook
You don’t know what lurks beneath dude. There could be some serious rips and water movement given the size of the swell and the retaining wall at the Wedge. Plus, the dude who got stranded got his fins blown of but he was still trying to kick like he had fins. Trying to swim without fins in that tough of conditions when not swimming without them for a long time can be super tuff. On top of that, this shit is way bigger than any hurricane swell you would ever get. Even up here in the Outer Banks, shit rarely gets that bad. Florida has it easy compared to even NC, let alone the beast that is the Wedge.
@@alexeatonexploresamerica5511 bro there is literally not a single thing on ur garbage channel that’s even slightly compares to the wedge. Get real also there’s a 3 m swell showing in the next 2 weeks here in cali you could prove yourself and swim a bomb day. Farkin embarrassing your page is.

Hey did you get a video of the jet ski going into the rocks earlier today??
nah wasn't there socalvideos has it up tho
Joe it’s in UA-cam
I have a question are nt their like better waves nearby??
what a crazy set
insane! were you there when the jetski crashed into the jetty?
nah it was around 4pm supposedly
WHY THE FUCK ARE THE WAVES SO BIG
imjusttdanii that's the wedge for you
That is the real way to make a rescue
Nice vid but do you know what that thing is it's the top right hand corner and the last few seconds are. It kinda looks like a fin
yes! it was the shrak what ate the lady before! wow!
It's a bird
X2
Mike Mccourt its a water weinie
It's a duck. Some people amaze me
Man of water how come you never bodyboard those big waves
do lifeguards use fins when saving people?
yeah they usually run out with 1 fin and their buoy
Haha uh 1 fin or 2 fins?
1 fin so they can use there opposite foot easier when in too sand, at least in huntington they do
So I guess that’s not the place to learn where to surf at 36... hopefully I can hit it by time I’m 40 🤙🏼
brutal
I am Floridas toughiest swimmer
Biggest bullshitter other than 45
Damn haha 🌊
I AM FLORIDAS TOUGHIEST SWIMMER.

Proper technique is required to swim in angry SEAS
Just shows be ready for anything

Mike you wrote " 6/24/16"😂 its support to be 24/6/16😂

😂 its the thought that counts lol
just saying i'm a north shore junior life guard and the life guard was supposed to grab the tube around the guy and swim sideways while supporting him out of the water, just wanted to point that out...but hey at least he is alright
Just wondering. Isn't that only if the victim is unconscious?
EthanJMay it also helps you swim easier too
And the victim is not supposed to release the tube and try to bodysurf the wave to get on the shore :)
Well I'm glad that we have a junior lifeguard explaining to one of the most professional lifeguard agencies in the world how to do their job lol. I've been life guarding for years, this rescue was textbook
Trithory thats only of they are unconscious
I am Floridas thoughtiest swimmer I can swim threw that with ease
