Surf, Sand, CPR: California Couple's Unforgettable First Date
You really never know what will happen on a first date.

SANTA CRUZ COUNTY, CA — Unusual first dates stories are often fun to share with others but one California couple's date may be tough to top. A man surfing in Santa Cruz survived a heart attack thanks to the actions of one woman in a wetsuit and the whole thing was caught on camera.
His rescuer — who was also his date — was a doctor, according to a report by ABC 7 News. Video shows that the duo had been surfing when 56-year-old Max Montgomery suddenly collapsed on the sand. As a group of people surrounded him, Andi Traynor, still in her wetsuit, started administering CPR until firefighters arrived to help.
Ten months after their unforgettable date, they are still together. Read the full story and watch the video here.
