Porthcawl RNLI’s volunteer crew were tasked by HM Coastguard to paddleboarders reported to be in difficulty at Ogmore.

The charity’s Atlantic 85 lifeboat Rose of the Shires was launched on service and conducted a search of the area. During the search an empty SUP was found floating on the water. The charity’s D Class Hugo Missen was requested to launch to assist with the search at 6.48pm.

A thorough search of the area was conducted but it was later established that the people who the paddleboard belonged to had been seen coming ashore. The lifeboats were stood down and returned to station to be made ready for service.
