In five decades of lifeguarding, Ed Vodrazka has seen and heard some truly mindboggling acts of heroism and has brought them all together in “Stories from Sea Level” a book recounting 38 epic ocean tales from San Diego to the Sonoma Coast.
The stories range from valorous, to humorous, to downright bizarre, and shed light on the close knit yet little known world of California’s lifeguards.
Each tale is narrated by Vodrazka, a longtime beach lover who has served all over the coast, but holds Santa Monica especially close to his heart. He still remembers the taste of the first hot dog he had on the Santa Monica pier at five-years-old and the “godlike” lifeguard who complemented his sandcastle building.
