Hey WSL, is it too late to re-evaluate the injury wildcard? Yesterday, Mikey Wright went full fucking stallion mode and saved someone from drowning. Full stride, signature mullet bouncing in the wind, making us all think Baywatch put the wrong pro surfer next to Pamela.

The victim was stuck in a pretty strong rip, taking some heavy shore break on the head. Mikey sprinted across the beach swooped in and saved the day. Watch the heroic act unravel below.
