Viewers just couldn’t get enough of the dramatic rescues, drunks on the sand, wild and sometimes tragic footage shown of lifeguards at work in Huntington Beach.
The popular reality series “Ocean Force: Huntington Beach, OC” on truTV will be back for another year – possibly five more summers - with filming starting Monday.

“We were very pleased with the product last year,” said Marine Safety Chief Kyle Lindo. Although they were apprehensive about doing a “reality-type” show, footage from previous years in San Diego and Honolulu helped ease fears about how the show would turn out.
Huntington Beach’s version was a hit. According to the latest contract, the show had an average 1,716,000 primetime viewers – 30 percent higher than the average truTV primetime.
“We’re happy, apparently the public was happy. It was one of the best shows on cable (for viewership),” Lindo said. “I know everything they do on a daily experience is awe inspiring, and it turns out the public felt the same way.”
