Three on a Hike: to Say Nothing of the Dog.
From the news:

... Soon after receiving the call, park rangers arrived on scene, about three miles northwest of the Golden Gate Bridge, and found the surfer being smashed against the rocks by dangerous surf.
Rescue swimmers and the U.S. Coast Guard both attempted to reach the surfer but were unable to do so because of the breaking waves, Picavet said. Finally, at 5:15 pm., a California Highway Patrol helicopter was deployed to the scene and lowered a rope to the victim. The surfer, identified as a 40-year-old man who resides in the Bay Area, was rescued from the water and was taken to Marin General Hospital for treatment of minor to moderate injuries
