Last Saturday, a surfer in Oceanside was flown to the hospital after landing on his head in only a foot of water. That unconscious surfer was rescued by a passerby and another man who performed CPR.
It was at a beach break just north of the Oceanside Pier where a surfer dove off his board head-first and was knocked unconscious last Saturday.
Surfer Danny Comstock heard about the surfer who was Life Flighted to the Scripps Memorial Trauma Center.
"It really opens up your mind to what can happen out there, you know?" Comstock said.
I spoke to the man who pulled that unconscious surfer out of the water. He told me all of the heavy rain that we have experienced this winter has flushed an abnormal amount of water out of the river bed and that's created shallow and treacherous sand bars.
"I've hit the bottom before," surfer Matt Carver said.
