It was quite traumatic watching her panic and basically try to drown my dad while he was trying to get them to swim into shore. She was kicking and flailing under water and hitting him because she was freaking out.

My dad was drinking beers on the beach and didn't want to go out while the tide was down.
Me (10-12), another young girl (9-10), and her mom ventured out. My dad came down to tell us were too far out and we need to come in because the tide was coming in. None of us wanted to come back in and the the tide came in on all 4 of us and we got caught in one of these. I almost watched my dad and her mom die. They told us to leave them and go back to shore while they were basically drowning.
We almost died and we got saved by a dude on the beach named Brian with an air mattress.
I don't fuck with water much anymore. That was some scary shit.

I don't know what his circumstances were to have an air mattress at the beach but thinking about it now I think he or his party were using it as a float.
We were screaming for help and the crowd on the beach thought it was kids playing but he happened to have been in the area the whole time and saw us go out and he sprung into action.
This was in Rocky Point Mexico and I am 34 now. This was 20 something years ago. We were from Phoenix and he was from Tucson.
