Porthcawl RNLI’s volunteer crew were tasked by HM Coastguard to assist two paddleboarders reported to be in difficulty between Rest Bay and Hutchwns Point.

The charity’s Atlantic 85 lifeboat Rose of the Shires was launched on service. Once on scene the crew located the paddleboarders who had been swept onto rocks in the cove area of Rest bay. The crew assisted the two casualties to safety from the rocks using their paddleboard to transfer them from the rocks to the lifeboat. The casualties were then dropped ashore back at Rest Bay.
