San Diego college student to receive heroic Carnegie Medal for saving lives
A San Diego man will be honored with the Carnegie Medal for his efforts to save a couple from crashing waves in January 2021, it was announced Monday.
Tyler Badet, then 18 and a senior at Point Loma High School, was surfing when he saw a man and a woman struggling in choppy waves in a v-shaped cove on Jan. 6, 2021. The geography of the cove created a dangerous whirlpool-like effect in the 59-degree water. "He paddled to them, and, instructing the man to hold onto the nose of the surfboard, moved the man to an area of the cove where he could exit the water," according to a statement from the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission. Badet paddled back to the woman and did the same, but she panicked and would not let go of the surfboard to exit the water.
"Waves crashed around them, and, after two more attempts to get the woman to safety, Badet paddled into the center of the cove and waited for help," the commission statement read."Lifeguards arrived, entered the water, swam to the woman, and took her to safety. Badet paddled about 50 feet where he could exit the water safely."
