Competitor saves dolphin before Pier Pressure event

ahaley — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 21:28:07 +0000

Just minutes before the Nike Pier Pressure event got started Monday morning, Hawaii’s Tyler Newton was at the water’s edge getting ready to paddle out. He and others thought they saw a sand shark until the noticed how the animal was moving.

Newton had spotted a young dolphin that had beached itself.

Several ran over to help the animal and Newton swam the dolphin back out aproximately 30 feet but the animal beached itself again a few minutes later.

He swam it out a second time about 50 feet, but with no luck. Finally, surfers enlisted the help of Huntington lifeguards who located and released the young one to what was described as a frantic pod.

Thanks to Brent Hillerman for the great photo.
