On Sunday, Raglan lifeguards performed an afterhours incident, with reports from Coastguard of a person in trouble on the beach. The patient was rescued by a surfer, and lifeguards took an All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) and First Aid equipment down to assist the patient on the beach.
On Saturday, Raglan lifeguards also participated in two searches for a kayaker and wind surfer with other rescue service providers. Both patients were picked up by Coastguard Rescue Water Craft and returned to the beach.
Waipū and Ruakākā lifeguards both responded to a person in distress at Uretiti on Saturday. The patient had gone into the water and was swept out to sea. The informant on the shore, his child, called the Police. Ruakākā picked up both the patient, and a member of the public who was attempting to rescue them. Both were returned to shore safe and well.
