David Coffee, the 72-year-old surfer who rescued a father and son in New Smyrna Beach.

Good guy.

Good on ya Bro! Surfers probably rescue more swimmers from tough conditions than lifeguards every year.

Well done!

Great story. Feminized MSM usually tamps the lid down on positive men stories.

He looks like a greying Johnny Ramone had he lived to that age.

“Coffee, 72, became aware of calls for help and spotted the pair grappling with the powerful current.“

The entire planet knows that you cannot beat a rip current; that you cannot beat moving water and yet it seems everyone who gets caught in a rip current starts screaming and flailing.

Hubby just turned 72 and ppl always think he looks like he’s late 50s. Not sure if he could pull off what this guy did but he could definitely give it a try.
