 rescuer at sea---line---~~~victim in surf~~~---line---rescuer in beach

> That could be a very long line.  If it doesn't stretch that far, bring the
beach guy back out and shepard the victim in, one on either side of him.
His/her job is simply to keep the 3 boats rafted.

> I don't have any practical experience and more than likely would be the
guy in the middle.  

> The fastest way in might be to just let him dump again and let the surf
take him in :-).  Been there, done that.  Not in any homongous surf though.
