A Coast Guard aircrew circles above a lifeguard and a surfer in the water before hoisting the surfer onto the helicopter near Montara State Beach in Half Moon Bay, California, July 8, 2018. After the surfer became stranded on some rocks, the lifeguard helped the surfer swim into open water so the Coast Guard crew could conduct the hoist and transfer him to emergency medical services personnel waiting on shore.
