L200 almost gets dragged out to sea during beach run

Beach run starting with a donut then a drive down the beach.

While driving down the beach I decided to do a bit of splashing, so I pulled to the edge of the sea and got some of the surf over the top of the truck. Upon returning to the hard sand surface, the truck started to fish-tail (at 1:10 min) - that was some fun trying to regain control without using foot or emergency\hand brake, but by countersteering only. She fish-tailed quite a bit before I was able to stabilize her. Then off to some more splashing. Around 1:30 min into the vid, I pulled into the surf again, but underestimated how deep it was. The front left wheel got hooked in the deeper water causing the entire truck to be pivoted about that weel, forcing it towards the sea and pulled in - SCARY ! ! !. If you look carefully, you can see how far in she went. You can gauge the distance (at 1:32) in by looking at the shore in front the truck. At that time I just turned the front wheels towards the beach, throttled the engine and hoped for the best. happened soo fast. Some scary fun it was !

Look - Being dragged out to see isn't great

I should know

I was in Filey with my bff and we was in the sea and the tide was getting a bit close to where our beach towel and stuff were and I fell over - The tide was just going out I was screaming for my life! (Lol) I wasn't crying though! She had to save me,Shes pretty brave I swallowed some salt water..I coughed it up about 2 hours later in the car
