 That's exactly right. When I was in my mid-20s, I was body surfing with friends off the coast of Hawaii. I misjudged the waves, including the rip currents. At this time of year, people are out in the water. Be very careful. Rip currents are the real danger. They pull you back out. It's not the big waves coming in. Always swim parallel to the shore if you're caught in a rip current. That's Keith Thompson's advice for the night.
