Instructions unclear. Ended up in Japan. Thanks a lot.

-99% of people in a Rip tide : Panic and fear for their lives -This guy : Has a casual conversation

Years ago I was taken way out by a rip tide. Didnt panic...didnt fight....doggy paddled parallel with the shoreline. Once free from the rip tide.. ..I doggy paddled from one wave to the next....eventually reaching safety at the shoreline. Yes...Im a very poor swimmer....but I never panicked or fought the tide. I will say....I was quite a distance away from where I started to where I ended up on the beach. Swim parallel to the shoreline....take your time....its not a race and the incoming waves will help you to safety.

I like how he’s just vibin in a middle of a riptide

If ever I'm in a situation like this, caught by a riptide and far from the shore , my panic would be overthinking what sea creatures could be dragging me down

Is no one gonna talk about how satisfying the water sounds

Everybody gangsta until you realise you're quite far away and start feeling a pull into the ocean and the water start getting colder.

The thought of being stuck in a riptide scares me but if the water was calm like this I think I would be able to not panic. Panic comes in when the big waves crash over your head and you can't breathe

Dang thats pretty far from the shore i better learn how to swim lol

It was probably about 15 - 20 feet deep where I was floating in this particular rip current. Notice that I am wearing swimming fins. Always a very good idea to wear fins in the ocean. After all, Mother Nature is in charge out there. The rip current is the result of water rushing back through inshore holes in the surf line. At this beach a set of waves will crash on shore and then the water will seek to get back out to sea. A lull in the sets of waves occurs and that is why you do not see the waves in this video shot from the surface. From the shoreline if you were to observe the conditions you would be able to see the sets of waves followed by a lull during which the water rushes out away from shore. It will not pull you out forever. Just relax and do not fight the current. One strategy is to swim sideways or parallel to shore. Often there is a lateral current as well so you could swim sideways out of the rip and with the lateral current angling in toward shore. This particular rip current was fairly tame. Conditions can vary from day to day and from location to location. Talk to a lifeguard before you venture into the ocean, if possible. Do not swim alone. Wear fins! Know your limits. Remember not to panic and do not try to swim directly against the current of the rip as you will tire easily. In So. California, there are junior lifeguard programs that teach kids about ocean safety so that you are aware of the dangers and can take precautions.

I almost got caught in a riptide once, luckily there was a person who was taller than me who could just stand in the water and she tossed back to shore. Thank you lady who did that, I will never forget you.

watches one rip tide video KZfaq: *So you've chosen rip tide*

I would panic 120%

In 92 when i was 6 i got caught in a riptide..i was on a bugy board at barefoot and i dint realise i was far out until i looked back and the lifguard trucks looked like ants..when a life guard was close enough for me to hear they were yelling for me to swim at an angle..i was also in a huge school of jellyfish luckily i was not stung..it was the most terrifing thing that has ever happened to me..during the same trip hurricane andrew hit..be safe out there yall

I recently lost my best friend to a rip current. Please, everyone, stay safe because if things happen, its really, really hard to recover, or to not recover at all.

i would have anxiety and pass out

Normal people: starts panicking im gonna die Him: it’s fine I’ll just vibe here and make a conversation

I was in a rip today luckily it was the one that sent me back to shore

The quality of this video is very good. And I like the waves of the sea a lot and the sound of the waves is totally awesome.

I've been in 3 rips but none like this one... Waves threw me around like a piece of rubbish, then dump my ass on sand and shells. Thought to myself "this is it mate" while gasping for oxygen. But I guess it's not my time yet. Today I can read wave patterns due to my marine biology background. Now I've possibly developed an IMTA (integated multi-trophic aquaculture) system - farming multiple species, regenerating native environment, co2 sequester reducing ocean acidification via seaweeds, and producing cattle feedstocks. Which this system is the consequences of efficient local economics.

I kept hearing the Jaws music playing in my head.

Imagine being pulled away by rip ride and you saw yourself far away from the shore and your feets no longer can touch and the sand beneath, and to make it worst you can't swim and no one on shore realizes you've been washed away by rip ride. Just imagining this gives me the chills.

“It’s a pretty good rip” lol what bruh? Ik you gotta stay calm but damn 🤣

Something so scary about the water in a rip. Its just seems so unnatural.the water is obviously different when you’re in one,the quickly smooth moving water quickly Bobing you backwards,even with a board its scary

We need more of these videos great way on handling that rip

I learned as a child to roll to your back and float. Don't fight it. Don't panic. Hold your hand up and rescue will come. From California born. It has worked twice for me. Lol

This man has balls of steel.

shark just comes chomp

I’ve been stuck in rip currents plenty of times and every time I do I just find myself swimming against it

I Almost got drowned by a rip tide. It was pulling me slowly then I noticed that it's getting deep but instead of panicking I swim crawl hard my way to the shore with the help of the incoming waves. I thought it was my end.

OMG... I'm dramatic and extra on dry land. Panic and screaming wouldn't begin to describe it. I get panic attacks, and I can see this triggering one.

No sht I can taste the salt water from here. I feel like im drowning

I would have an heart attack before I even drown

Note to self: Don't leave bedroom

I was a lifeguard in a water park for a bit and wanted to try being a life guard at a beach but the thought of being out there would make me feel like shark bait. I wonder what the chances of running into a shark out there are..

I once swam a bay in my early teens with no knowledge of rips. This video brought back to me how the shore seemed to suddenly recede part way through that. Fortunately I am a dopey mf and didn't think anything was wrong except maybe I had lost concentration and curved away from the shore, and fortunately I was swimming parallel to the shore anyhow. The rip probably added 400 yards to my approx. 1.3 mile swim that day. Sometimes I wonder how I survived my childhood.

RIP Shad Gaspard..😭

This happened to me before I was on my boogie board I tried to swim out my friend was getting pulled out too.So I caught a wave in and a surfer was helping my friend

Do you guys know if you go 20 miles in the Gulf you will see clear water

We used to dive into the rip current. . fun..so crazy

That water is beautiful.

Once i was in the beach on the shore and a rip current got me since i was close to shore i managed get out easily pulled my swimmin glasees which came back to shore after a few mins

If your life is ever in danger remember to bring a camera because the camera man always survives

i wonder how deep it was

Imagine cruising along in the rip, then running into a swarm of bluebottles.

Did you have a pfd for this swim?

Do sand bars always have rip currents?

Looks cool i would just relax

He just vibin'

the ocean scared me so much

“PRETTY GOOD RIIIP”

Wow you are brave omg 😮

Everybody gangsta till the water turn black

Being that far out would have me petrified

Guys learn how to float and you'll survive 💯

Looks pretty far out, I typically go about 800ft from shore while snorkeling. I wonder if I were ever caught in a rip current, would I mind it so much?? Unless its sweeping my legs out from under me into a barrel roll I cant pull out of then; that danger should appear obvious.. but if not Im swimming out to sea already... sooo hmm

So in order to survive a riptide, don't panic, swim parallel to the shore until you're out of the current. Great 😊! But what if there's a shark 😨?

Steps to get out:swim parallel to the shore

I drowned watching this.

I would say 20 feet!

Legend has it he's still in that rip

RIP Current must be terrible to be caught up in it

All I was thinking about is how a shark could come at any moment.

So butiful video i llove video

What a RUSH!

Well tf u doin out there in the first place

All you have to do is swim parallel to shore

God im so scared to looking like this waves..new friends..

"Pretty good rip"

how is he so clam

*Surfing or snorkeling??*

is that really a riptide? that looks kinda ordinary tide to me

Im stayin out the sea

Ultimate mad lad with diamond 50 pound balls

I have no idea what’s going on here tbh barely know what a riptide is...to me it just looks like he’s in waves

R.I.P

HOW far out were you ultimately carried?

Where is he ? if on the island rhe he dead rn

A rip current that far out would be the LAST of my concerns.

Troll champ.. watched the whole thing. Point goes to you sir

Check out the song!

Shad Gaspard

Sheesh i would be scared

protip: you can have all the fun in the world in waist deep water.

Instructions unclean I ended up in my house and pit my dog in the microwave

What if a shark comes, your far from the shore

The name apparently says rip So if u dont want to R. I. P get out😭🤣

Instructions unclear i started in the Atlantic now im in the pacific

Thank you for Filipino 😀

Rip current is far easier to handle than stinged by jelly fish while swimming

I am Floridas toughiest swimmer I crave for RIP CURRENTS AND DUBBLE RED FLAG CONDITIONS

Sharks dude not cool to be out that far..

I feel special I'm like 1000

I don’t know why but I always wanted to be in a riptide. Just seems like a cool experience
