Can anyone help? I need to make contact with a hero!

surfWere you surfing Dona Ana, Lagos on July 4th?

I was vacationing in Lagos with my family.  We are from Canada.  When we got to Dona Ana  beach the waves were high but my three boys wanted to go in. 

I warned them about the riptide but two of them were pulled out.  It happened so quickly.  

I went after them and managed to get a hold of one.  The other was swept away.  I thought I had lost him.  

When I was helped back to shore my wife was screaming that they had him.  I could not believe it.  It was a miracle!  My son was on a surf board and was saved!   

A surfer had rescued him just before he went under.

I have never been so grateful in all of my life but  I could not thank him properly because he was back to the surf as soon as he had seen my son to safety.  

This man is a true hero and thought nothing of what he had done.   

The surfer seemed to be local and I just want to try to track this man down.  

I have to get word to this person as to how much I appreciate that I have my son safely back here in Montreal because of him. Thank you - obrigado!
