Riding Giants

Go here.

In the first clip, you’ll see the wipe-out which, by any reasonable standard, should have killed surfer Maya Gabeira in Portugal. Then go to the second video, of Carlos Burle rescuing her. Stay in there until the 1:15 mark, where, after failing to get her to grab onto the Sea-doo a couple times, he jumps off the sled, grabs onto her, and lets the ghost-sled pull them in to shore.

If this was in a movie, we wouldn’t believe it.
