The South Korean child, who was vacationing with his family in Oahu's North Shore, was frolicking in the surf Sunday when he was suddenly hit by a powerful wave.

His mother and grandfather rushed to the rescue, but the 8-year-old was already sucked underwater.

There were no lifeguards on the beach, so other tourists sprinted into the ocean to do what they could to help.

After a few harrowing moments, the boy was pulled to shore and luckily only had some water in his mouth, according to his mother.

Meanwhile, a couple of other fearless good Samaritans are speaking out about a separate rescue.
