…(Continued from part 1) …The waves were pretty strong and just kept coming in with almost no lull between sets. l was definitely not in shape for bigger waves after waiting a week for something decent. There was a really friendly vibe in the water between the few people that were surfing. The non-territorial locals were out, luckily, and we were all having a good time. Suddenly, from down the beach we heard yelling. I wasn’t really paying attention because I was into catching some choice waves, until Patricio Gonzales, national longboard champion of Mexico, comes whizzing by saying, “Alguien ocupa ayuda!” (Translation: “someone needs help!”). In about 2.5 seconds, he had paddled all the way to the end of the beach, saved the people, and was back rocking 360′s and noserides. I actually hadn’t even realized he had left! Thanks Patricio, for being not only a sweet guy, but a great lifeguard too!!
