I love how this moment is so intense but the music is all happy lol. Anyways, I was down there for the pony swim that year too! I'm not sure what day I went to the beach but i remember it being really harsh, the waves. I'm going again this year. It's so much fun!

[kilekeni]

guys its a rip current, not a undertow, theres no such thing

look at the NOAA website or the united states lifesaving website for rip current info

Well I am from the mountains, so I am not too familiar with the tides or the currents. But it looks like you got the picture anyway. I am sure that most people figured it out.

i was'nt being condescending btw, my first longer comment was not added for some reason, so i was just explaining something that is frequently misrepresented on tv and by the general public that makes out a rip current as something that will pull you under when in reality a rip current pulls you offshore. you can see the distrubance in the water where the rip is located, sorta foamy, "dirty" looking water going out to sea.

Actually, a riptide is just a strong current taking you out, while a undertow takes you underwater, because the water under the waves is just swirling around, that's what keeps you under

Those Lifeguards are awesome. They saved my life. I got caught in the under tow and had given up . I was goin under for the last time when they snatched me from the ocean. God Bless them and keep them safe
