A US Marine veteran saved the life of a man who was caught in a rip tide in New Jersey. While filming a YouTube video of himself surfing with his family at Sea Bright Beach, 35-year-old Stephen Houser noticed Gabe McCabe in distress in the Atlantic Ocean. Mr Houser swiftly transformed his surfboard into a makeshift life raft, rescuing the struggling swimmer from the treacherous currents.
This dangerous incident occurred on September 3rd, when, despite the sunny weather attracting beachgoers, the lingering effects of Hurricane Idalia and other tropical storms had left the sea in a turbulent and rough state.
