“Apparently, they were just kind of lost or something, he just drove straight in. They rented a jet ski and they were at the wrong place at the wrong time. They were very lucky.” – Newport Beach Marine Safety Capt. Skeeter Leeper told The Orange County Register.
Newport lifegaurds and the “Wedge Crew” (local boogie boarders) successfully rescued the couple. Neither of them were seriously injured.

Bodyboarders bro, not boogie boarders.
I like to say boogie boarders! It sounds more fun. 🙂
gapers will be gapers
I wonder if they lost the deposit on the rental jet ski. They are lucky they did not get their heads cracked on the rocks. “Lifeguards had warned the couple earlier in the day to stay clear of the area” – from http://www.ocregister.com/articles/couple-720630-ski-jet.html
What were they thinking….. under shot the channel entrance….. straight into the rocks……. ouch.
