In 1989 I asked a Lifeguard on Waikiki Beach by the Hyatt where the good surfing waves were. He asked if I had surfed before and I answer no but I was a slalom water skier and skateboarder(again 1989). Lifeguard told me to surf Waikiki and he would tell me what break to hit. Well when I was finished he said "Good News, you're already at the best surf spot" for my skills. About 3 days later we drove to North Shore(late Oct) and saw real waves for first time. One actually crossed road while we were driving the coast. The Lifeguard on Waikiki Beach saved me without getting wet🤙

I work and live as a lifeguard here in Mar del Plata, Argentina. So much respect for you guys.
Here we have a lot of sea culture because of our ancestors, even though the ocean here is not as brave and wavy as yours.

How is it that there is not a monument to Eddie Aikau? Legends are hard to find these days. Eddie would go. No matter what. RESPECT!

Proud to be a lifeguard! It's a wonderful profession, helping people! Listening to the rescues, I was reminded of several rescues and situations I've experienced in my career as a lifeguard! Greetings from Argentina! 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷

I went to the 100 year Ocean Safety Celebration at the convention center. I surfed Full Point, Sandy Beach for over thirty years. I worked right across the highway. My daughter, Leslie, started ocean safety on Oahu but now she's here on the big island of Hawaii. When Dennis was sharing his Waikiki Wall rescue, I'm sure the Ivan he mentioned, was the late Captain Ivan Harada. I still have a nice photo my daughter took at the anniversary of AhMow, me, and, Tom Stone. I met Kai'ulani there, any relation to Lloyd Bowers, and I talked to a lot of lifeguards. Terrific documentary. Mahalo Dustin Malama.

Well done! It is difficult for Lifeguards to explain to others what feelings we have about our job. Mahalo!
