Date : Sunday 22 April
Boat launched : Atlantic 85
We launched the lifeboat following a call that a kite surfer was in trouble and had packed down his gear but hadn’t moved for about 3o mins. We went to a position off the Hayling Funfair and found the kite surfer on a paddle board together with the paddle boarder who was rescuing him. As they were making good progress we escorted them ashore and the local Coastguard took charge of the kite surfer.
