Lucas Taub who is a surf coach at Westcliff University surf team was at the right place at the right time on Sunday March 15 in Oceanside California when Chris Greene was with his daughter Coco Greene who is six years old when Lucas was walking along the jetty and he heard a girl screaming for help. Lucas who was teaching a student from the sand took action to rescue Coco was in the ocean waves since Chris had a hard time getting his daughter out of the ocean by himself. Lucas was able to save Coco and get her out of danger and reunite with her dad at the beach. Chris is grateful that Lucas saved his daughter from drowning since the waves dragged her from the shallow water and into the ocean. Link is msn.com/en-us/lifestyl...l

I remember hearing that on the news. So glad she’s safe now. Her poor father must have been so agitated and terrified.

I'm sure many people have been caught in rips and taken out to sea.

I wonder if Lucas took one of his surf boards out to rescue the girl, as with waves that strong, he might have gotten into trouble himself too, otherwise. Or, maybe, he was a strong swimmer. Well, done to rescue the girl.
