The California Surf Lifesaving Association recently honored two lifeguards with Medals of Valor for a daring night rescue amid massive swells in Half Moon Bay.
For their bravery, California State Parks lifeguards Riley Rhodes and Max Hunter were recognized last Thursday at the Capitola Community Center during a well-attended ceremony. 'It was nice to see so many lifeguards together in one room, and it was definitely pretty meaningful to be honored by all of them, especially the ones I went to training with,' Hunter said. 'All of my supervisors showed up. It was definitely cool.' The rescue took place on the evening of Jan. 21, 2023.
