I once helped a kid get unstuck from the sand at Smith Point on Nantucket. He was in his father's brand new (stickers still on the window) 4WD explorer. He had driven on the beach , no permit , not aired down and he was stuck where he'd be totally flooded when the tide came in.
I made him do all the actual digging and got some boards under there (from our vehicle) , I aired down his tires , then we helped push and finally he got out. The damned kid never even stopped when he broke free. he just drove off the beach and away. Not even a bye or a thankyou.
Anyway , he was lucky that night cause there was just me and my friend out there that night. without us , he'd have lost the vehicle.
