Don't Turn Your Back on the Ocean
- "People who have no knowledge of the danger the ocean threatens will walk right into it backwards while snapping pictures of the family. One wave and -- ZAP -- they are grabbed and sucked out in seconds. And worse, still, is the guy who won't let go of his camera, but keeps it high over his head while he is drowning." - quote from the late Eddie Aikau, Oahu lifeguard, appearing in the book, Eddie Would Go, by Stuart Holmes Coleman, MindRaising Press, 2001, pg. 75.
