Multiple champion of surfing saved two people after a giant wave

The 11-time world surfing champion 43-year-old American surfer Kelly Slater saved a two-year-old child and his mother.

Events occurred on one of the beaches in Hawaii. Sarah White with a 22-month-old son Wan walked along the path when they were covered with a giant wave.

For their happiness, a professional surfer was nearby, who first pulled the child to the shore, and then saved his mother. After that, the athlete by car took a couple to their house.

“I thank the surf gods for the fact that Kelly Slater was in the right place at the right time to save my wife and son, who was washed off by a wave from the path at sea. I will be forever grateful to this great man, that my family is safe and is safe and rescuers who have saved many lives today,” the head of the family Chris White wrote on Instagram .

It is believed that Slater-champion raised surfing to a new height, adding new stunts in the style of skateboarding and improving the skiing technique. Kelly starred in many films about surfing, recorded an album of surf music, and also became the main character of the video game Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer.
