Surf Rescue, also amazing footage
"They found the P/C Sandpiper yacht taking on water in 20ft seas, meaning the height of a wave from the previous trough could be as much as 40ft, Clark said.
Walton, who only recently graduated from the coast guard rescue swimmer program, was lowered from the helicopter by a cable. Labonte climbed onto the stern and prepared to enter the water just as a huge wave slammed the craft, throwing him into the surf. The wave struck so violently that the vessel rolled completely and wound up floating upright."
