Mangaluru, Apr 25: A possible tragedy was averted at Tannirbhavi beach on Sunday as five students of a college in Moodbidri, who were about to be drowned were rescued by surfing trainers Tejas Naik and accomplices, who were training other surfers nearby.
At around 8 am on Sunday, April 24, students were swimming in the sea near Fatima church on Tannirbhavi beach. As the waves were too high, they could not swim towards the shore. Immediately, national swimmers Sanket Bengre and Shilpa Bengre rescued two of the students.

Tejas is also trained as life guard. The effort of Tejas and others is lauded by all those who were present on the beach.
