Among them was 17-year-old Colby Ralls of San Rafael, who was surfing with two others when voices from the bridge alerted them that something was wrong. They reached the man, whom they believed to be in his 20s, and worked to keep him afloat until help arrived. According to the Coast Guard, the man was in stable condition when he was transferred to an ambulance. Ralls said he hopes the man recovers.
