Isn't it cool when timing and being ing in right place at the right time and end up in such a cool story.. I am bummed at the fact there isnt more of a response to this.. So I'm going to take the time to give my honest sincere ( just happened to be posotive as well) opinion and thoughts on such a true American Hero. Chris showed up at a time when the world needed a hero and him shocked more folks have time to like a stupid cat video but not a true American Hero... With the health issues and physical challenges he was dealt this is like so amazing to do just the 2mile swim.. I surfed the North Shore of Hawaii for 2 decades and still would but I had a surf injury that resulted in an amputation. So I can tell you to swim in a pool is one thing to swim a. Whole mile but 2 in the open ocean is insane hard. What ya going to do if you get tired out there. What if there's a slightest rip current. If you fail and run out of steam u drown out there. Not when theres jet skis to rescue you when your racing but when your training with your friends and there isn't medics n skis on sight. A lot of people don't realize I surf big 20 foot waves for decades and I can barely swim around OB Pier ( SD ocean Beach pier is the longest non military civilian pier on west coast of USA but no way is it 2.4 miles round trip but maybe 1 mile. I've almost drown a few times as u don't have your surf board to rest on when u get spaghetti arms and cant swim any more you will drown and you will die if u don't find a way to keep going.. This is not only hard but really really scary. I surf 5 hours a day for 2 decades and I can't do it !!!! So u folks realize this ain't no joke or a " feel" good story this is real $|-|¡+ excuse my language . Chris is a bad ass dude Mad respect for him Aloha and Mahalo JT
