Australian pro surfer Mikey Wright has been filmed saving a beachgoer who was struggling in the surf on Oahu’s north shore. Wright, who was in Hawaii for the Pipeline Masters event, posted footage of the rescue on Instagram with the caption: “hold my beer”. Although other beachgoers could be seen trying to help and reach the struggling swimmer, the current was too strong until Wright stepped in

Chick who helped losing her top was the real story

The ocean is strong! I’ll never forget how helpless I felt when the strong waves pushed my little sister and I under water. I remember my sister drowning and pulling me under with her out of desperation and me trying to pull her out of the water with all my might while fighting the massive waves! It felt like an eternity. Luckily my father and several people jumped in to rescue us. It was a terrifying experience! I was exhausted!
"You cant same him." 😂😂😂
Great job Mikey! Glad you were there.
That surf is intense whoever let her go anywhere near it is not bright
Aussie Aussie Aussie oi oi oi
Experienced surfers really are impressive people, their courage, skill and knowledge of the ocean is amazing. I’ve seen a few surfer guys rescue civilians in peril, they make an incredibly dangerous rescue situation look easy. Bravo 👏👏👏
One look at those waves and I’m leaving my swim session for another day..
Aww bless him 🙏❤️❤️❤️
if anyone ask my contribution to the project….1.06 it is
I want candy
Saw this video earlier! I knew it had to be a Fearless "Surfer" Who Saved that Woman from a Ripp Tide!
Heroe of the hearts, thank you! Greetings from Germany ♥
He knew what he was doing bless him I bet she was so exhausted scared and grateful to see the one man calvary show up and the others to follow.
Greatestness of human beings
Hold my beer!
Not all Heroes wear Capes!!!
He is a heroe
Why edit the clip so heavily and remove how far he had to run to save her? Terrible editing.
Okay I have very little experience with the ocean as I am land locked but is that really that dangerous was she knocked out or tired from swimming? She wasn’t moving very much. I don’t understand and they were so close to the beach. I have no comprehension of why this wasn’t a stand up and walk out of the water scenario. But clearly if a pro surfer says it wasn’t safe then. So can someone explain as to what the ocean was doing and why it would’ve been hard to get out is the current there strong idk.
Amen and Amen!

Toxic Masculinity!
They call it toxic masculinity, right?

Ever notice that in the vast majority of these types of video its always MEN who are doing the saving? Very rarely do you ever see a woman stick her neck out for another human being.
"Nah he needs to get get saved. Shenay, Shenay, hold this…"
Was that considered a riptide?
Nice work, he held her up above the water and turned his back to the wave so that he took the brunt of the imapct.
He needed to get laid so bad…
"Hold my beer"
Proceeds to save the day. Nice! 👌
