I pulled a tourist out of a rip a couple of weeks ago.....3rd Street S. I watched him as he was getting taken out to sea and he never even tried to raise the alarm. I pointed him out to my wife and was up and moving before he knew he was screwed. I had a log and was out to him pretty quick. He thought I was just paddling by and asked for help......got him in and his wife said she thought he was just screwing around......
