Coma após wipeout em Mavericks
Comente
Português
Surfista californiano Jacob Trette com 30 anos de idade foi varrido por uma série das grandes em Mavericks e está em coma. Muitos dizem que se ainda fossem permitidas embarcações no local o jovem surfista poderia ter sido resgatado mais rapidamente e teria mais chances de estar bem.
Após algum tempo, um kaiaker avistou o corpo boiando perto das pedras e resgatou o surfista desacordado. O fotógrafo Russell Ord, o único que estava com jet ski particular na água foi quem retirou Trette da água para ser reanimado pelos paramédicos.
Montgomery é um dos que acha que essa foi uma tragédia anunciada. “Está tudo nas costas da NOAA’s. Eles proibiram barcos na água a não ser que as ondas tenham 20 pés. E hoje estava com 12 – 15 pés mas uma série gigante entrou … Se houvesse barcos na água, certamente o garoto teria sido resgatada mais rapidamente.” Lamentou Montgomery.
Série varrendo em Mavericks
O mesmo swell que qauase deu início ao Eddie Aikau, levou grandes ondas ao norte da Califórnia. Não era nada de mais para Mavericks com ondas de 12 a 15 pés. De repente uma séria fora do normal surgiu no horizonte muito além do esperado e varreu literalmente todos que estavam no outside.
O kaiaker que avistou o rapaz e Russel Ord em seu jet foi quem retirou ele da água.
Após muita luta os paramédicos conseguiram reanimar o jovem surfista que deu sinal de algum pulso. O fotógrafo local Don Montgomery disse que o garoto ficou tempo demais desacordado e que os médicos não sabem o dano que pode ter sido causado ao cérebro do rapaz.
Paramédicos lutam para salvar o surfista desacordado
Certamente as autoridades devem reavaliar a dcisão de ter barcos na região. Uma pena que tenha que ser por conte de uma tragédia como essa.
English version
A Southern California surfer by the name of Jacob Trette was found face down in the water after reportedly being caught inside when a large set came through at Maverick’s. Trette was reportedly not breathing and unresponsive when found. Fortunately his rescuers, including a nearby kayaker and surf photographer Russell Ord, who was riding a personal watercraft, set him on his side so water would drain from Trette’s airway. After bringing Trette to shore, CPR was performed by emergency responders to help revive him.
The victim was found by a kayaker in the lagoon, and then picked up by Aussie photog Russell Ord — the only one on a PWC — and taken to shore: “I had been looking for him and I saw him before the rocks,” Ord said. “Then I saw him and zoomed over to the kayaker.”
As of Sunday at noon, word from Trette’s father is that his body is OK, but they’re unsure about his bran functioning.

Big set at Mavericks
“I had been shooting since sunrise, the sets had been inconsistent but really clean conditions,” says SC-based photog Nikki Brooks. “At 9:45am, a big set came through and most surfers were sitting more inside and deeper than usual.”
River O’Mahoney Hagg was one of those unlucky enough to be caught inside. “It was a big, clean-up set, everyone was inside,” he says. “I was pretty close to that kid. We were both paddling to get over it, but neither of us made it. I had a two-wave hold down and a broken board. Once on shore, we got him on his side and the water started coming out, he was still snoring.” Hagg was one who helped while waiting for paramedics.
The kaiaker and Russel Ord in the rescue
Longtime Mav’s photog Don Montgomery explains: “When they brought him in, he was gone. The paramedics finally got a pulse before they life-flighted him out to Stanford. The last we’ve heard, he’s in a medically induced coma. But he was out for so long, doctors aren’t sure what kind of damage was done.”
Paramedics
Montgomery, for one, feels like the tragedy could have been averted. “This is all on NOAA’s shoulders,” he said. “They won’t allow boats out there unless it’s 20-foot. And today was 12- to 15-foot, but this one giant set came in…if boats were out there, that kid could’ve been saved quicker.”
