A surfer saved the life of a boy who was taking out to the open ocean by a strong riptide. Huge waves scared off people from entering the water as they watched and screamed the boy moving further out.

Evan Miller, a surfer living in Playa Hermosa, finally made it to the boy and rescued him after 15 minutes paddling to reach him. With the help of two other men they brought the kid safely to the shore. Read the complete article from the TCPalm News: Stuart surfer rescues boy from riptide in Costa Rica.
