This is the rescue story that I have witnessed few days ago in Baja wave spot Punta Abreojos. Short story about off-shore conditions, safety and a opportunity to learn

thx for sharing.
Cold water is a beast...I made my experience as well...after 2 min I lost power...so be aware about what you do and act quickly.
