A member of the public alerted Solent Coastguard that two kite surfers were in difficulties off Hayling shore. The Coastguard requested the launch of the Atlantic 85 who found one of the kite surfers drifting just south of the lifeboat station. The casualty was taken on board and brought ashore at the lifeboat station. The second kite surfer managed to get ashore unaided at Eastoke Point.
The lifeboat was made ready for further service.
