This guy made the unfortunate decision to take his rig and spend the day at the beach. Unfortunately, being an out-of-towner he obviously did not realize that where he parked is hard compact (drivable)sand but when the tide starts coming in it turns soft really, really quick. Common mistake that happens way too often.
One of the mistakes he made, which we (the tow truck driver and myself) noticed when we were pulling it out at 3:00a.m. was that he had pulled the center part of his valve stem out, obviously thinking that if he let some of the air out of his tires that it would help him get himself out. Unfortunately, it let out ALL the air out and so when he tried to drive off all it did was make the rubber part of the tire spin. Rims spinning, rubber part now loose...dumb move.
This video and photos were taken about two summers ago at Hugenot Park. It is a city run beach and camp sites in northern Duval County (Jacksonville Florida). One of the only beaches that the public is still allowed to drive on. I was camping there and get called upon quite often to help pull newbies out of the in-coming tide. I've seen some even dumber mistakes than this one. It's usually quite a show when they (the victims) realize that they've waited toooo long to move the vehicle.

  • Unless there was a no entry sign at the water's edge there'd be no way of knowing this could happen.

  • did the person think that their was a road out their or something

  • How can this bloke be a bad driver? In Australia we get what is called a King Tide that is double the height of a normal High Tide and comes in and out in about 1 minute.

  • Stuck While In Full Tide
