A surfer was rescued this Tuesday by emergency services after finding himself in trouble in La Santa, as reported by the Emergency Consortium.

The incident took place at around 5:14 p.m. when CECOES received a notice that a surfer was in trouble in the area to the right of the coastal town.

Agents of the Civil Guard, Local Police, Civil Protection, an ambulance and firefighters went to the scene.

The firefighters went out in search of him on a jet ski and located him about 400 meters from land since the athlete had swam to get away from the coast due to the waves. He was fine, so they transferred him to the port of La Santa on the jet ski rescue board.
