Folks - there's a fine line between adventure and foolhardiness. Before you go out in conditions like that, spare a thought for the amazing people who would have to risk their lives and rescue you.
It’s so sad that somebody went surfing knowing the weather was quite bad at that point and put a whole crews life at risk … What amazing people to do this in such treacherous conditions . I know weather can change quickly but there’s an element of thrill for some people in the see who like taking risks when they know they need to go back to shore . I hope many watch this and see how dangerous this was
Whom Can We Trust If No One Is Trustworthy? One of my favorite quips from Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is when Tom is defined as “a glittering hero…the pet of the old, the envy of the young,” and there were “some that believed that he would be President, yet, if he escaped hanging.” With these few words, Twain captured the essence of leadership in our world. Those who get to the top are the fiercest, most determined, and most ruthless. Today, the latter quality has become so intense that we can no longer believe our leaders, and certainly not trust them to have our best interest in mind. I am not accusing any leader in particular, or even leaders as a whole. It is simply that in an egoistic world, where people vie to topple one another on their way to the top, the one at the top is clearly the one who trampled over and knocked down more people than anyone else. Concisely, to get to the top in an egoistic world you have to be the biggest egoist. So how do we know whom to trust? We don’t know and we cannot know. All we know is that we are in the dark. In a culture of unhinged selfishness, any conspiracy theory seems reasonable, while truth is nowhere to be found. When every person who says or writes something is trying to promote some hidden agenda, you have no way of knowing who is right, what really happened, or if anything happened at all. The only way to get some clarity in the news and goodwill from our leaders is to say “Enough!” to our current system and build something entirely independent. The guiding principle of such a system should be “information only,” no commentary. Commentary means that information has already been skewed. Information means saying only what happened, as much as possible, not why, and not who is to blame and who we should praise. Concurrently, we must begin a comprehensive process of self-teaching. We have to know not only what is happening, but why we skew and distort everything. In other words, we have to know about human nature and how it inherently presents matters according to its own subjective view, which caters to one’s own interest. To “clear” ourselves from that deformity, we must learn how to rise above our personal interest and develop an equally favorable attitude toward others. This is our only guarantee that our interpretation of things will be even and correct. Once we achieve such an attitude, we will discover that the bad things we see in our world reflect our own, internal wickedness. Our ill-will toward others creates a world where ill-will governs, and so the world is filled with wickedness and cruelty. Therefore, all we need in order to create positive leadership-and to generally eliminate ill-will from the world-is to generate goodwill within us. When we nurture goodwill toward others, we will fill the world with goodwill. As a result, the world will fill with kindness and compassion. By changing ourselves, we will create a world that is opposite from the world we have created through our desires to govern, patronize, and often destroy other people.
You don't have time to be brave, you have to consider the idiot surfer who went out in such crazy weather. If there's a life to be saved you have to go out in such conditions. Top work lads, a credit to your station in Trearddur

So why out of the blue is the BBC featuring the RNLI? Hmm, seems to me that illegal immigrants are still going to try the English channel this winter and the media is preparing to get us plebs on side and praise what is praiseworthy hoping that we overlook the rest!
That boat driver was super skilled. This is why I give this charity money they're just volunteers.

You said that much more nicely than the thoughts I had in my head. Well done.
Well they must be super heroes 'cos I wouldn't have gone into the sea.
RNLI saving lives at sea, they are the best
Incredible braveness ! Thank you!

Gold medal rescue
Man, those surfers .. risking lives of _others_ .. There should be some civil penalty for those guys.
Great work by the RNLI as usual. Was great to see their donations go through the roof after the smears of the far right..
Well this sure was very interesting to learn about and I like it

Know many must say this but, fancy someone going out in weather like that and putting the lives of the crew at risk.

Let’s gooooooooo! Hell Yeah!!!
What in god's name was that woman doing in the water anyway? She needs some education on surf and weather conditions.
*BBC means Big Ben Clock*

The danger comes when those "rescued" commit terror attacks against the public.
And no one seems to collate things like that.
How many have actually done that? The vast majority of those people that have committed the attacks in the UK…were born here.
Please remember Afghanistan 🇦🇫.
What’s that got to do with this video?

Why are you angry about the RNLI doing what it was created to do?
The English are so lame. Those waves are so small. A nice day on the west coast of nz.
just pray that one day u dont end up in that kind of situation.
That's the comment you choose to make after watching a video like that? Lame.
You come across as being an armchair hero.
