Four boys who nearly got swept out to sea by a rip current are safe after members of the San Francisco rock band "Third Eye Blind" helped them to safety.

Frontman Stephen Jenkins and drummer Brad Hargraves were surfing on the Carolina coast when they saw the boys dangerously far off shore.

They paddled out to help, and then had them rest on their surfboards to get them back to shore safely.
