A 10-year-old boy is rescued from dangerous surf off the California coast after a teenage lifeguard jumps into the water, according to accounts from the boy’s father and video of the incident. The father, Sumit Rai, says he is “forever grateful” to the teenager who saved his son. Rai describes conditions in the area as deadly, citing large waves and strong currents, including the presence of riptides. He says the lifeguard ran into the water despite the risks and that his actions had a lasting impact on the family. The rescue is described as occurring during pounding surf and is reported to have been captured on video, which prompted wider attention to the lifeguard’s response. Rai’s comments emphasize both the danger of the conditions and the lifeguard’s determination to act quickly. Reports state the father speaks publicly about his gratitude shortly after the incident.
