Andre Botha Rescues Wave Rider

Andre Botha rescues surfer Evan Geiselman during a big day at Pipe. If you watch the video below, you'll see Evan take off on a wave and then get sucked over after not making it out of the barrel. Then the video cuts to Andre getting there to help keep him afloat till the lifeguards arrive. Andre Botha was also honored by the Mayor of Honolulu for his efforts.

Being apart of the Wave Slide Culture community, it is responsibility to be mindful of our surroundings and respectful to other wave riders in the lineup. With that being said, if you notice someone out in the lineup during a not so ideal day struggling, make an effort to get help from the Lifeguards and let that wave rider know that help is coming.
