Retired and current lifeguards talk about the history of life-guarding on ʻOahu, and how it evolved into the Honolulu Ocean Safety Division. Features music by www.bensound.com
In 1989 I asked a Lifeguard on Waikiki Beach by the Hyatt where the good surfing waves were. He asked if I had surfed before and I answer no but I was a slalom water skier and skateboarder(again 1989). Lifeguard told me to surf Waikiki and he would tell me what break to hit. Well when I was finished he said "Good News, you're already at the best surf spot" for my skills. About 3 days later we drove to North Shore(late Oct) and saw real waves for first time. One actually crossed road while we were driving the coast. The Lifeguard on Waikiki Beach saved me without getting wet🤙
I work and live as a lifeguard here in Mar del Plata, Argentina. So much respect for you guys. Here we have a lot of sea culture because of our ancestors, even though the ocean here is not as brave and wavy as yours.
This is the most beautiful honest full of what it means to walk in love with every step... I admire an am inspired by this group of people an the history an aloha that's put into everything you do.. I am just in AWE OF EVERY PERSON I WATCHED HERE..... Thanks for making this🤙🏼✌🏻💗😊❣️
How is it that there is not a monument to Eddie Aikau? Legends are hard to find these days. Eddie would go. No matter what. RESPECT!
