“The waves, I wouldn’t say they were tranquil, but they were what you’d expect, a normal cadence and intensity,” Vander Dussen told KNTV-TV. In the video, the lifeguard can be seen rushing into the water after seeing the boy struggle. After reaching the boy, the young lifeguard dove into a coming wave while holding tight to the boy, who was going limp. Vander Dussen said in a social media post that paramedics evaluated the boy before releasing him to his parents. The names and ages of the lifeguard and boy haven't been released.
