VIDEO: 16-year-old boy rescues boy on California beach, trapped by giant waves

A 16-year-old lifeguard in Santa Cruz, California, performed a heroic rescue during massive waves at Seabright Beach, saving a 10-year-old child who became trapped in the surf. The incident was captured on video by a bystander named Scott Vander Dussen, who described the intensity of the rescue. The young lifeguard, identified as Ryder by his mother, fought against strong currents while ensuring the safety of the child. Despite attempts by others to assist, the situation remained dangerous until another lifeguard joined the effort and helped bring the child to shore. The video went viral, and Eric Trump, son of U.S. President Donald Trump, praised the lifeguard’s bravery, calling it 'the best of America.' President Trump later announced plans to invite Ryder and his family to the White House along with the rescued child to award them a high civilian honor.
