Four teens in South Australia were hailed as heroes after working to rescue two struggling swimmers in West Beach near Adelaide.
Cruz Campbell, 14, was wearing a GoPro that captured the incident.
According to 9 News Australia, the boys were surfing when 14-year-old Kai Nixon spotted a 10-year-old boy struggling in a rip current.
Nixon managed to paddle to the boy, put him on his surfboard, then take him to nearby rocks. In the video, a young boy can be seen holding onto a rock as large waves slam against him. Both the boy and the grandmother can be heard screaming for help.
Louis Kempster, 16, and Riley Kellock, 17, helped pull the young boy to safety. The teens then shifted their focus to the young boy's grandmother, who had been pulled further out to sea, 9 News reported.
The footage shows Campbell grabbing a blue surfboard and handing it to one of the boys who runs further out onto a jetty.
Kempster can then be seen trying to help the woman by telling her to hold onto the surfboard. She struggles for several minutes as waves continue to slam her against the rocks.
The teens, along with another man, eventually pulled the woman out of the water enough for her to catch breath. Emergency responders arrived shortly thereafter.
The boys received praise not only from Campbell and Nixon's high school, who lauded them as heroes, but also from Peter Malinauskas, Premier of South Australia.
'They demonstrate there's a lot of good among young people,' Malinauskas said. Credit: @‌drift_clothing_co via Storyful
