16-year-old Lifeguard Rushes Into 10-Foot Surf to Save California Boy
A 16-year-old lifeguard at Seabright Beach in Santa Cruz sprinted into 10-foot waves to pull 10-year-old Nathaniel Rai from the ocean, with a second lifeguard and bystanders helping; the dramatic rescue was captured on video and drew praise from the boy’s father, Sumit Rai, while President Trump floated honoring the lifeguard with a high civilian award and a White House invitation (not officially confirmed yet). Nathaniel was released after medical evaluation with no serious injuries but is dealing with psychological trauma from the ordeal.
