We’d just got back from a surf at La Punta in the morning and it started the bucket down. Eating a few chocolate crepes for breakie, we watched over the beach spotted a brand new Nissan Ute fast approaching the creek on out going tide. Although the creek may seem quite shallow, until dead low tide there is still a heap of water in it. Like a skater attacking a half pipe, the Nissan dropped in on the creek wall, coming to full stop. Everyone eating breakie lost their shit with laughter. Things got worse for the family in the Nissan, as the truck acted at wall in the creek creating a stationary wave which began breaking over it. Aussies to the rescue! Packing a scrum behind Nissan, we pushing as a 4x4 on the beach tried to winch it out. About 10 mins in the truck was finally out, but totally waterlogged. Chips and cans of drink floating around in the cabin.
The next day, the dad turned up to our hostel in a new hire car and 6 cases of beer for our efforts. Right on.
