Add The California Post on Google Video shows the heart-stopping moment a little boy was nearly killed by monster waves in a California beach town over the weekend.
The terrifying drama unfolded Saturday at Seabright Beach in Santa Cruz when killer waves sucked a young swimmer into massive surf.
A 16-year-old lifeguard dove into the water and fought the powerful waves to reach the child and bring the victim back to shore.
Other beachgoers and a second lifeguard rushed to the rescue, helping carry the boy back to safety. Eric Trump reposted the video of the lifeguard with praise. “Give this 16-year-old lifeguard the highest civilian honor. This is truly the best of America! Well done!,” he added.
The child was evaluated by paramedics and reunited with family, according to BayArea_TV.
