kitesurfer rescued off the point at aberdovey saturday morning. he was down in the water for approx 30 min before the coast guard went out to rescue him. they even dropped him off back at the beach with his kite. wind was northerly at about 20+mph.

Ooooh.... Anyone know who it was and why he needed rescuing??

I just saw the coastguard heading into the Golf Course Car Park with its lights going... Not sure why yet.

One of Rob's students from the Mids!! Went out into the chop at Cemetry on the falling tide, wiped out, got his lines tangled around himself and was not able to swim in! I think he will wait for the lagoon to form next time out.

Youve got to watch that Northerly at cemetary, as theres quite a big rip going in the same direction. The tide wasnt low enough for the lagoon, which also means its straight off shore in the estuary.

Gutted I missed the shout!!
