ABC News' Ginger Zee took part in a lifesaving demonstration.
"Double drowning" can occur when people, often without any formal rescue training or equipment, jump into the ocean to rescue someone else and end up becoming victims themselves.
"Tom, I could tell, was contemplating what to do. He handed me his hat and his phone and started walking toward the water's edge," Shannon Kenning said in an interview with "GMA." Raising the bar for her next challenge, Zee was tasked with attempting to save a 12-year-old competitive surfer named Huda.
"You think you can do it, but the waves keep crashing, and you get tired ... and it's hard to just get to it," he explained. "My arms were hurting. I mean even now, my heart is like 'boom, boom, boom.' It's a lot more tiring than it looks like it would be." " far enough away from him that when you hand it to him, he's not on top of you. Safe distance, you say, 'Relax, I'm here to save you,'" he explained."Having the boogie board was everything," she said. "It made it so much easier. I was calmer. It felt like I had distance between me and the person. That distance gave me confidence.
