Anybody who looks at that shit goes:
"How can that guy live through that?"

1:20:13
The greatest threat
is getting trapped...

1:20:16
... in the impact zone
and held underwater...

1:20:18
... as successive 10-story waves
explode overhead.

1:20:23
Out of sheer necessity of survival...
1:20:25
... tow-in surfing introduced
the big-wave rescue...

1:20:28
... with the Ski driver ready and willing
to put himself in harm's way...

1:20:32
... to come to the aid
of his fallen partner.

1:20:37
I'm thinking about the next wave
that's gonna hit him.

1:20:40
And how much time I have
from where I am to get to him...

1:20:43
...get him on the Ski
and get out of there.

1:20:46
Sometimes you're not able
to get him immediately.

1:20:50
He might have to take
two or three on the head.

1:20:58
You've gotta dash in there,
and hopefully the timing is right...

1:21:01
...that the guy's gonna pop up just as
you're coming by, and you get him.

1:21:06
Otherwise, you gotta get out, and the
guy's gotta take another on the head.

1:21:13
Because, you know, if you lose a Ski,
then both of you are screwed.

1:21:17
You can rush into a situation
where a person is drowning.

1:21:20
Now there's two persons drowning.
1:21:33
On a rescue situation where you're
really in peril, and it's a real situation...

1:21:38
...there's that connection.
1:21:41
You can see it in the eyes,
where, "We need to do this.

1:21:44
And we need to do it right now.
Nothing else matters."
