On Monday, Eric Trump posted a video on X of a 16-year-old lifeguard saving a young boy\u2019s life from massive waves in Santa Cruz, California. The post went viral with over 17 million views the next day as Trump commended the teen, saying, \u201cThis is truly the best of America! Well Done!\u201d President Donald Trump also commented on the video in a post on Truth Social and X.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to bring this heroic young man, and his family, into the White House with, perhaps, the boy he saved, to give him a High Civilian Honor,\u201d Trump said. \u201cVery brave, he deserves it!\u201d<\/p>\n

The man who recorded the video, Scott Vander Dussen, told NBC News that the conditions at the beach had been relatively normal earlier in the day.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe waves, I wouldn\u2019t say they were tranquil, but they were what you\u2019d expect, a normal cadence and intensity,\u201d Vander Dussen said. \u201cAnd then that just changed in a heartbeat.\u201d<\/p>\n

As the waves grew in intensity, a 10-year-old boy was quickly overwhelmed.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt caught a lot of people off-guard. Unfortunately, this young man was overwhelmed and swept out in just a moment\u2019s time,\u201d Vander Dussen said.<\/p>\n

True to his training, the lifeguard sprinted into action, per KSBW Action News.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat just missed the opening seconds where the first lifeguard just fearlessly ran out into those huge waves and did what was needed to bring help to that boy,\u201d Vander Dussen added, noting he had never witnessed a rescue this intense before.<\/p>\n

The teen began pulling the limp boy to shore as white-foamed waves continued trying to suck them both out to sea. Each time a breaker came, the lifeguard dove under the waves, moving as they lulled. As they neared shore, another lifeguard came to the rescue. Eventually they reached the shore and were met by a group of men, who carried the boy.<\/p>\n

Others attempted to assist the lifeguard and boy in the waves, but couldn\u2019t hold their ground against the powerful surf. Officials often say that while they recognize this desire in people to help, jumping into a dangerous situation without training can create more victims.<\/p>\n

\u201cI understand the instinct to want to go and help someone,\u201d Anaiis Moise, marine safety officer for the City of Santa Cruz, said. \u201cAnd often the more effective way to help is going to be getting someone who is trained and professional to respond to that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The boy is in stable condition thanks to the lifeguard\u2019s quick response and bravery.<\/p>\n

A woman on social media, who claims to be the lifeguard\u2019s mother according to Fox News, said the teenager\u2019s name was Ryder. After receiving many requests to start a GoFundMe for the young hero, she thanked everyone for their praise and gratitude, but said that Ryder was just doing his job.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI am blown away by the love, kindness, gratitude and respect you\u2019re sending his way!\u201d she said. \u201cA few people have asked about a GoFundMe \u2014 but honestly he was just doing the job that he absolutely loves.\u201d<\/p>\n

NBC News reported that lifeguards in Santa Cruz are required to complete 80 hours of marine safety lifeguard training in addition to 56 hours of basic lifeguard training and 24 hours of medical training.<\/p>\n
