so i have lived in and around the ocean for my whole life and i consider myself a decent swimmer. I never thought that i would have to prove it, but yesterday i was teaching my buddy to surf. It was pretty rough maybe a couple feet over head, and the tide was changing. so my buddy tries to catch a wave and loses the board just as one of the biggest sets of the day was coming in. we are out there a good 80 yards from shore with a rip current that could tear the primer off a fucking freight train. so we are fucked getting swept out to sea and being crushed by these waves and i found out that my buddy isn't the best of swimmers. we came about five min. from death. I had to literaly pull my friend out of the water.
