Watch Australian Surfers Save Woman Drowning In Hawaii | NBC News
What amazing people
Shout out to them all!
Hawaii water is nothing to play with why was she even in that water with that surf being that strong? Luck of the stupid strikes again.
Glad he was there to save her. This is why most locals in Hawaii stay out of the water during high surf.
Thanks 🙏 god. Be safe
Living in Hawaii, and being a non-swimmer, I know the ocean is very dangerous even for experienced swimmers! This woman was blessed to have these angels around to rescue her…
Shervelle Bergholz Didn’t see any wings. Just real people, experienced in the water.
@Helen Pauls Angels don’t necessarily have wings… they just do good things… I think we can both agree these men did a good thing…happy new year to you!❤
Shervelle Bergholz Angels, meaning good people, agreed. A happy New Year to you too.
Cooooor man🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
Nice work! Wouldn’t take long to get exhausted in that surf.
Soooo where’s the lifeguard 👀
Great to watch him use his knowledge of the ocean to be able to save her. Once he has her he used the ocean to carry them to shore. Lucky, lucky woman!
North shore is for experienced swimmers and surfers this time of year. And for people standing along the shoreline, just watching….one inch of rushing water can knock you down, no matter how strong you stand.
Hi Leslie, Is this where the locals go to jump off that “BLACK ROCK”. When my husband and I went to visit in Hawaii they always recommended that spot. Is North Shore the area where Black Rock is?
All right, God bless you man.
It’s good to know there are still some good people 😊
we all know what happened that night as well
houlda gotten an interview with the chick that forgot her bikini
Watch other clips of this and see that this is just very brief bikini bottoms worn by Tyler Wright who is Mikey Wright’s sister, also a champion surfer. She ran down to direct her brother and warn him of the type of waves and the direction they were coming in from the open sea towards the shore. This is their Life Saving training kicking in where one is rescuing in the mix and another is calling out the nature of the dangerous wave situation about to come into the mix. They have been surfing since they were kids and like a lot of Aussie kids, especially surfers, have learned skills from local Life Saving Clubs. As kids in the Nippers classes and then as adults in the adult classes. They are both exceptionally skilled professionals.
Badass human being
God bless everyone that rushed over to save that lady’s life. Those waves…not today Satan, not today.
She was gone for sure until he jumped in to get her.
She was a strong swimmer to get that close to shore
Buy that man a 6 pack
Glad she’s saved! That wave is powerful!
the water might look innocuous but can u feel the current beneath the waves?
those waves look so much fun 😍
Thankful for people who drop everything for another human as others use a phone to film it
Part only?
Waves may look nice, but those Undercurrents that are treacherous. It’ll pull you underneath your feet.
you think those waves look nice???? Biggest dumpers I’ve ever seen!
Not to rain on his parade, but she sort of railed into him, he got her when she got to him. Still heroic that he bothered though
I saw it differently, on the second clip at Tyler or Mikeys instagram posts (yesterday, Aus time), as he was underwater and probably pushed off the rocks up and outwards to wrap an arm around as she got pushed in, which he was waiting for. If he wasn’t trained for those LifeGuard scoop-up moves, she might have washed right past him; only one shot at it. But, say you’re right, he assessed the situation “he’s gonna need saving” and was probably just going to wait, but it probably looked more urgent once there, as he (and Tyler) knew what the endzone would be like, rightwards (offscreen).

I thought Australians weren’t allowed to leave Australia at the moment?
pro surfer….special clearance.
Is she technically drowning if her head is above water?
The scene opens with camera clear fixed on her …..er…..assets.
THE FULL BOOTY RESCUE CREW!
Um, am I missing something? The water is still shallow there, looks like the surfers could just stand up and walk to her.
Doesn’t matter how shallow the water is when the woman’s lungs were already full of water. Also a powerful rip, making her too weak to swim against it.
You never know when a swimmer is in difficulty . Never assume they are OK
Id Rather Be thought Rude than wearing Black
Is it me or was she not that off the shore?
0:03 when someone lays a criticism on vegemite
Guardian Angel.
This was the ONLY positive thing on NBC news tonight…
Scary, he knows better then to save someone without a floatation device too (they will drown you trying to stay above water). Great job.
There’s ways around that. Anyone who’s done basic life saving training is taught the solutions to that, I learnt that at school as part of basic rescue training in about year 7 I think it was (so aged about 12 or 13)
Wow those waves are strong and fierce
The whole video is better. Hold my beer
Sea don’t look safe.Raging seas😠
Charge ’em bruddah!
For the last 7 decades I have spent My summers at Our ocean side summer home and was also a long distance ocean swimmer. Only expert swimmers should challenge the ocean surf , its nothing like swimming in a lake . Its actually harder to float in fresh water however the current and waves at the ocean can be deadly especially if You panic. I also spent 35 years in EMS and if it were up to Me I would make it mandatory for ALL children to learn how to swim so if they ever get into trouble at any time in their life knowing how to swim and also being surf smart will save Your life. Remember water is very heavy , 8lbs per gallon and it only takes 12 inches of water in a riptide to knock You down.
He’s training for a new job at Bondi Beach eh?
😂😂 no mamen. Look at the current. she would have been saved in all ways. The waves are pulling everything onto the shore. I can tell you I was a lifeguard too. If the current had been pulling in, the story would have been different. there wouldn’t have been time to get it out
ikaika ka pehu no laila e palekana ʻoe 🤘
Google translate threw on a wobbly grammatic suffix “the swelling is strong so be safe”
Yes, the swell is strong, and Ke iki is a serious shore-break to contend with (Winter season, big surf, etc).

Got to love people when they pay close attention to all and do something about it
Love NBC YouTube channel. Hope NBC will stop the annoyingly long request to subscribe to their channel on every YouTube video. Other than that keep it up!
Surfers are a different breed man most of them really only care about others out there
I HATE HOW THEY CUT IT! 🖕😠👎
Gogogogogoooo Aussie !!! Proud of ya mate !!!!
🇦🇺 https://youtu.be/aZ4NuX0qWuY
I’m so glad they saved her. BUT you have to respect the power of the Pacific Ocean! Winters on northern beaches are no joke. So many tourists have no idea of how strong and dangerous that water is. Eddie Aikau saved hundreds of tourists at Waimea bay. PLEASE stick to the calm beaches on leeward sides. It’s heartbreaking to read the news and see that someone on vacation or a honeymoon has drowned.
I was in a small white sand beach in Kona, Hawaii last week and the surf was intense and I was dragged out of the shore…I was swimming so hard toward the shore with little effort in getting closer…was so thankful that there’s a local dragged me out of that surf and I realized how dangerous that could’ve been be without him. I learn to respect the nature and never get too far away from the shore alone..
Sadly many tourist and visitors die often in Hawaiian waters. They are beautiful but very deadly. The current can be so strong that even the most experienced swimmers can be swept out. I am glad that situation turned out okay, could have been very bad outcome..
Ladies and gentlemen . I wish you a happy new year! The new year has arrived! A new ERA is coming! all troubles are behind! May the good mood never leave you !! Good luck to you, good luck to us !, good luck to everyone! … I love you all … With a bow, Gennady. Expensive! I am from Russia, Siberian … I position myself: INVENTOR! ..

bloody legend cobba! #HoldMyBeer
Human kind god bless
That butt got my attention right away, lol.
Gooood Job!!! I like it!!!
He literally said hold my beer.
Hero’s being Hero’s 💪💪💪💪💪💪.
That’s a cauldron
Before you end up another victim grab the Peterson tube
No worries mate 🙂
Rule No.1 – Know your limits.
Wow, those waves took over SubhanAllah
I watched several teenage Mexican boys rescue a swimmer being swept to sea in massive waves last year. They had no life guards there just young, brave, selfless hero’s. It brought tears to my eyes to whiteness this. The best of humans being called to action.
Why the need to put labels on people. Not very progressive
Wright person at the wright place at the wright time with the wright intentions. Wright on!
Wow good for him! Glad she was saved!
🙏💗
Australians fear nothing
Does she have legs? Maybe just stand up next time.
That was an incredible force they were dealing with.
So much aloha 💟
Great to see thanks Mike
So good to see people acting like people instead of morons filming it all on their cameras without helping.
Read the warning signs before entering the waters. Lifeguards don’t just put those out so they can have an easy day. Mickey is a true LIFEguard to this woman.
There is nothing fishy about this rescue.
These people are heroes.
And Covid 19 is a Hoax…. just saying
Studs. Good work fellas.
Aussie surfers Bravo Heroes !
watch how to rescue souls: see my Playlist called soulwinning demonstration it explains how to receive eternal life with bible verses..
The gospel by which we’re SAVED. We’re under Paul’s ministry today. Therefore we’re not under the law of the old testament. 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 (KJV)(1) Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the GOSPEL (good news) which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; (2) By which also ye are SAVED, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain (self). (3) For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that CHRIST DIED for our SINS according to the scriptures; (4) And that he was BURIED, and that he ROSE AGAIN the THIRD DAY according to the scriptures.
And that takes us back to John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH in him should NOT PERISH, but have EVERLASTING LIFE. Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV) (8) For by GRACE are ye SAVED through FAITH; and that NOT of yourselves: it is the GIFT of GOD: (9) NOT of works, lest any man should boast. So it’s only by GRACE that we are SAVED not by works. JESUS did all the work and gave us GRACE (unmerited favor) as long as we have FAITH (believe) in the DEATH, BURIAL, and RESURRECTION of Jesus Christ for SALVATION (trust in his BLOOD ATONEMENT). That’s the gospel. JESUS said, Ye must be BORN AGAIN to enter into the kingdom.(accept Jesus as your SAVIOUR)
READ, UNDERSTAND, BELIEVE (from the heart by FAITH) and be SAVED

Legend 💪🏼
Wow them waves are dangerous
Not all heroes wear a cape some got mullets in the wind …….. he’s the man!
Nothing worse than to dive into an ocean wave only to realize that sand floor is closer than you think
Great acting!! Better than Baywatch!!
Mankind at its best.
It comes natural 🇦🇺

❤️ Aussies! Very kind, loving people!
👍🇦🇺

No greater person than one who risks his life to save another. Good job.
People always underestimate the power of a wave. Lifeguards and others less experienced in the water lose their lives because of your stupidity.
That guy was off like a rocket
….like an Australian :
https://youtu.be/aZ4NuX0qWuY
