Howth CG were tasked at 15.27 today to a 999 report of a kitesurfer in trouble off the Burrow beach. A volunteer who was near arrived quickly to find the surfer had just made it ashore to the beach. He was kitesurfing alone in an offshore wind and couldn’t make it ashore. He eventually made it by swimming towards the beach.
Howth CG would like to remind kitesurfers to only surf in the company of others and on a beach with an onshore wind.
