The rescue unfolded when Lobo heard desperate cries for help while kite surfing off the coast. Spotting the woman struggling in the water, he quickly responded.

"After sailing a few meters, I heard a cry for help and looked at the girl who was drowning," he later wrote in a heartfelt post.

Using his kite, Lobo approached her and calmed her down, urging her to climb onto his back. Despite being exhausted from fighting a strong current, she managed to hold on as Lobo skillfully guided them both back to shore.
