The whole story about the missing man from May 24 is not being shared (possibly because of athorities). My brother and his friend were there are tried to save this 21 year-old kid. My brother and his friends were on the beach and my brother heard someone screaming, "help, help, I'm dieing". Mr brother is not one who thinks before he reacts and he jumped into the crashong waves and began swimming toward the young man. He did not know that his friend had followed him out as well. He reached the young man (my brother is only 23 himself), but the boy kept fighting and pulling the two guys down. My brother told me that a big wave hit them again and seperated him and his friend. He said there was a sheriff boat and helicoptors flying above, but no one did anything to help. My brother was getting weaker and weaker trying to get the kid to calm down and float. Telling him that if they could just float someone would come get them. No one did and the boy kept fighting. My brother's...

The flag system should be advisory not manditory. What it's not taking into account are the varied skill levels of the swimmers. The water is always going to be dangerous to a weak swimmer, and not always dangerous, regardless of flags to a strong swimmer. Also, how do these rules apply to Scuba divers and surfers?
