OT: 81 year old rescued from surf in Seaside Park..good Video
- Thread starter LetsGoRUwrestling
- Start date
It seems that all things at the beaches have been so much worse this year- never seen so many rescues and deaths on a weekly basis.
I mean he is very lucky. Why would an 81 year old be in the ocean alone with these waves????
Because people are stupid? Hope the beach doesn't close here. Looking to go up tomorrow.
I was out there today and it was pretty rough and scary What scared me even more was seeing a little girl about 7-8 years old playing in the waves while her whole family was all the way up on the beach sitting in a circle and not one person had eyes on her.
Bigger and rougher. I was at the beach all week last week. I didn't go in past my thighs, and I was getting hammered. Strong undertow. You could see the rips forming. That's why they had red flags and lifeguards on ATVs going up and down the beach getting people out of the water. Yet there are still people who will complain "their taxes pay for the beach, etc. It's my right to use it." But they are also the first ones to call for help when they get in over their head (no pun intended.)
Live at the beach. Went to the see the wave action yesterday. Not the biggest surf I have seen but the ocean was angry. The waves were coming fast. Time between waves was anywhere between 5-10 seconds. There was no reason for anyone to be in the water.
I will be on that beach watching the sunrise this weekend and every weekend until November. My bolt cutters are packed.
Guy is opening up to a whole bunch of legal issues. You cannot restrict people access to the coast line. Fishermen and surfers advocacy groups alone will make killing off of this.I will be on that beach watching the sunrise this weekend and every weekend until November. My bolt cutters are packed.

Things are unsafe for swimmers because of the onshore stuff from the storm. Stuff is great for surfers but if you don't know what rips look like stay the HELL out of the ocean.
Rips look the most timid and will suck you out. I've warned idiots in person at the beach many times.
Adding to your comment. Not criticizing.
Just got back from a fire run into Belmar (nothing), radio in Manasquan is very active.
Told my boys…whenever you hear one at night say a little prayer as it’s probably a mariner in distress or a LifeFlight going to Jersey Shore with a trauma case.
Yea have no problem with ticketing people that put first responders at risk. Saying it is illegal to padlock access to the beach. And the surf rider and saltwater fishing advocacy groups will have a field day with this. I remember the case where a family closed access to the beach. They lost their shirt.
Yea been hearing the chopper for a while. Prayers sent. This isn’t good. Walked along the beach today. Was surprised how many boats were actively fishing in the inlet.
My Parents house is on Wreck Pond in Sea Girt and this statute has been put to the test.
You can’t have it both ways. They are being sued because some idiot drowned and said they didn’t tell him it was unsafe to swim
Sat on the beach for a couple hours today. Not a boat ventured out into open water while I was there.
Exactly. It’s awful that someone lost their life but jenkinsons the largest landowner and beach operator in point pleasant has insurance to cover their liability. They can’t restrict access to the beach. It is illegal.
The real issue is the town of point pleasant is not in the beach business they sold off that responsibility to Jenks and Martells years ago. Each beach front house assumes the same liability either by themselves or through their beach association.
Yea they were all in the river. But there had to be 10 boats actively fishing the inlet.
what was up with the lifeguard that dove in only to be surpassed by the waverunner seconds later? Seems to make no sense to me.
Yea saw the Coast Guard plane this morning. Father in law said it was in Point at sunrise.
Get someone in the water as fast as possible. You don't know how long it is going to take to deploy the wave runner. If you notice the wave runner picks up the life guard on the way out.
