In the first clip, you’ll see the wipe-out which, by any reasonable standard, should have killed surfer Maya Gabeira in Portugal. Then go to the second video, of Carlos Burle rescuing her. Stay in there until the 1:15 mark, where, after failing to get her to grab onto the Sea-doo a couple times, he jumps off the sled, grabs onto her, and lets the ghost-sled pull them in to shore.
If this was in a movie, we wouldn’t believe it.

Dunno if it’s Jon Krakauer/NFL envy but the surf sites are full of anguished hand-wringing op-eds regarding “safety” and employing this as a hook. I’m inclined to think the video speaks for itself on that point
