Surf Legend Kelly Slater Saves Mother and Young Son from Freak Hawaii Wave

Kelly Slater does it all.

Eleven-time world surfing champion? Check.

An occasional appearance on Baywatch? No problem.

Help a mother and son who were swept away by a wave? You got it.

Slater rushed to the aid of Sarah White and her 22-month-old son Van after the two were pummeled by a rogue wave while walking along a beachside footpath in Hawaii.

Slater downplayed his actions, saying, "For some random reason I stopped there when I normally don’t. Lifeguards were on it either way and had it handled."

According to a report from 7 News Perth, White had Van in a stroller when the wave struck. After attempting to hold on to the stroller under the force of the wave, she was eventually separated from it.

"When the wave hit, there was like 10 foot of whitewash in the air," Van's father, Chris White, told 7 News Perth. "They said there was 20 to 30 seconds where no one could see where either of them were."

It was at that point that Slater leaped into action, pulling Van and his stroller out of the water and then helping Sarah. The surf champion then drove the pair home.

Chris White was so appreciative that he took to Instagram to dedicate a few words to Slater's noble effort:

"

So thankful the surf gods denied @kellyslater today cos for whatever reason he was right there to save my wife and kid who were swept across a road by a freak wave today. Forever grateful to the great man and so thankful my family is alive and safe 👊🏼 ❤️💙 Thanks to all the lifeguards too who saved many lives today.

"

Despite his casual demeanor, it's evident Slater was concerned for the mother and son he rescued, even going to visit them the following day.
