A dramatic video has emerged of a man caught in rough sea as he tries to collect his jet ski.
The footage, shot with a drone in Nazara, Portugal last week, shows professional Big Wave Surfer, Francisco Porcella trying to retrieve his jet ski caught in strong waves during a rescue operation.
"After riding several big waves and having himself suffered one of the worst wipeouts of the session, Porcella paused his surf and started doing safety operations, he then used the jet ski to rescued his team mate, Axi Muniain after a massive beating from a set wave that almost knocked Muniain unconscious," the filmer wrote online.
"While Porcella was helping Muniain, the jetski was hit by a wave and flipped, putting both Porcella and Muniain out of the jet ski and drifting into the dangerous inside area of Praia do Norte, the jetski hit the rocks at this point,"
"Francisco Porcella and Axi Muniain were both safe after this accident, suffering just minor injuries and a quick visit to the hospital, the jet ski was also recovered by Porcella minutes later this incident," he added.
