In a headline ripped from a superhero flick, the Daily News is reporting that a drowning man, Brian Jordan, was saved by a solo surfer off the shore of Coney Island last weekend. Jordan is now trying to find his saviour, who fled the scene after carrying him 100+ yards back to shore and saving his life.
Jordan, who dove into the water after his speedboat became untied from a pier, only has a partial photo to go by; a passerby snapped the shot, which shows a sea-themed tattoo. The photographer also commented on Jordan's condition at the time, saying, "I thought he was dead. He looked purple."
A delicious reward is also being offered if the mystery surfer steps up; Jordan's family owns the Sheepshead Bay mainstay Jordan's Lobster Dock, and he says, "I'll give him a big lobster dinner. I'm beside myself with thanks."
Meanwhile, NYMag ponders the mind-blowing reality that a heroic, life-saving "sexy shirtless surfer dude" (who they liken to Nick Lachey) exists outside the pages of romance novels and comic books.

#1: he does not look like Nick Lachey.
#2: who goes in the water at Coney Island?
But it is super touching and Little Mermaid-esque.
I wonder if he performed cpr on him.
His chin begging to be tickled by that salt and pepper beard.
I think the Nick Lachey comparison is based soley on the fact that it's a white guy, who is maybe built, with tattoos.
But I love mystery rescue stories!
maybe this guy didn't stick around because he had a warrant or something..now he's on the front page of the post. thanks for saving my life, guy!
It was this guy

That is the gayest cover to a newspaper I've ever seen.
@kojak... brilliant.
Yeah kojak. Best link ever.
that's what i was thinking Nick S.
yet another reason why tattoos are a bad idea.
so this guy's boat get untied from a pier and his best plan of action is to jump off the boat and let the ocean take him 100 yards out?? there's something missing here.
Nick, I'm assuming he was on the dock.
wankers.
SHRRRRRIIIMMMMMMPPPPPP!!!!!
