Not many people know who Dr. Stephen Leatherman is, but everybody knows “Dr. Beach”, the author of the annual 10 Best Beaches Report. As the Director of the Laboratory for Coastal Research at Florida International University , Leatherman takes on much more serious topics than which beach has the softest sand or best amenities, and in this great video he takes a look at rip currents: how to identify them and what to do if you are caught in one. An interesting and informative video that we think should be watched by EVERYONE who wants to swim in the ocean.
