they call this stretch of the North
6:00
Shore the seven-mile miracle there's a
6:03
world-class surf break every hundred or
6:04
so yards we rescue up to a thousand
6:08
people a year definitely one of the most
6:11
dangerous stretches of beaches in the
6:12
world
6:17
my name is tau Hanuman and I've been a
6:20
lifeguard for 14 years here on the North
6:22
Shore I work here at AO Kai Beach Park
6:26
it's the home of the surf break Banzai
6:29
Pipeline which is a very dangerous wave
6:32
that breaks in very shallow water
6:34
it's such a critical wave that if you
6:36
fall down the chances of getting injured
6:38
of hitting the reef is very high even
6:45
when it's really small we have very
6:46
strong powerful rip currents it's very
6:49
easy to get swept out in the rip current
6:52
and not be able to make it back to shore
6:54
just yesterday the lifeguards made about
6:57
20 rescues knowing that the possibility
7:05
of drowning is very real you know
7:06
especially a large surf we all train my
7:10
training consists of running the beach
7:11
of swimming anything basically in my
7:14
area
7:16
but we do Mach rescues if the surf is
7:18
big I'll tell one of my partners hey go
7:21
go out and get pounded in the surf I'll
7:24
come get you with a rescue tube so he'll
7:26
go out and you know he's taking waves on
7:27
the head and you know see how fast we
7:29
can get to them
7:31
whatever the oceans gonna do if someone
7:33
needs help and you have to go get that
7:35
person you got to be ready to do that
7:41
you're putting yourself in a very risky
7:43
situation but knowing that your partner
7:45
has your back there's it builds a strong
7:48
sense of camaraderie we have a good
7:50
morale between us all we do this job for
7:54
the love of the job amazing if you can
7:56
save another person's life it's very
7:59
rewarding for sure

8:19
I just want to start and go and go and
8:23
go the longest amount of time that I can
8:26
draw before the tide kept sit and watch
8:29
the raining away my name is Jim Donovan
8:36
I draw in the sand to draw on the sand
8:40
it's a balance between a mental game and
8:43
a physical they're both equally
8:45
important I started drawing in the sand
8:49
a little more than 20 years ago I was
8:52
walking along the beach one day it just
8:54
came to me to use it as canvas I just
8:57
put my finger in the sand and made a
8:59
giant fish I became really really
9:05
obsessed with it I left behind the world
9:08
both of surfing and the job as a chef
9:11
and I just took everything it's a
9:14
drawing in the sand there's almost no
9:15
one in the whole world that did this
9:17
kind of thing I've drawn in the sand
9:19
around the world Australia Uruguay
9:22
Argentina Chile Russia increasingly a
9:25
commission but we're also in places
9:27
where others a nice patches have I think
9:28
I'll go do something there the one that
9:34
was ten miles in circumference in the
9:36
desert on dry lake to kiss world record
9:38
and largest art I've walked as much as
9:43
30 miles in one day which means about
9:45
seven or eight hours of walking I like
9:50
the stick probably the best because I
9:53
like to come down to the beach with
9:54
nothing the tools are sitting there on
9:56
the beach sticks to choose from and I'll
9:59
do my composition do a nice big drawing
10:02
and then I'll throw the stick away I'm
10:04
down with nothing and leave with nothing
10:05
for me that's most fulfilling choice of
10:07
how to do it
10:09
during the sand is the ultimate of in
10:11
the moment and I want to finish when the
10:14
tide is about to destroy the time this
10:16
is gonna change every day anything I do
10:18
down there is going to be gone and every
10:20
time I'm gonna have a big huge place to
10:23
try something new
10:25
