A hero indeed

They really need to put more of these signs up

That sign might of worked 20yrs ago but now some will see the 'lol' as a funny questure. At first glance I was thinking why would they laugh? Oh wait 'lol' two arms and a head.

What a great kid, he may not think of himself as a hero but that's exactly what he is. Yeah he was just doing what needed to be done because he was there and could do it, but nine times out of ten that's exactly what a "hero" is. Good on him and the folks that raised him.

I think they're gonna need a bigger sign.

That'll keep the Yank tourists out of the rip tide.

Hogwash.

I'm pleased and happy to repeat the news that we have, in fact, caught and killed a large riptide that supposedly scared the crap out of some bathers.

That's a relief but those few remaining diehard fans of riptide will be disappointed.

I liked how the dad just said "You'd better go" Complete trust in his son that he could pull it off. No motherly cotton wool stuff.
