Our volunteers were paged to reports of a person in the water and unable to reboard his kayak off Ogmore by Sea. Our Atlantic 85 was launched on service and arrived on scene within 15 minutes of initially being paged. We were directed to the casualty by persons pointing from the rocks above. Conditions were rough and the casualty had been swept close to rocks at Ogmore deeps. When we located him he was in the water clinging to his equipment. A crewmember swam to the casualty with a line as he was close to rocks and all were pulled aboard the lifeboat along with his kayak. The casualty was taken back to Porthcawl and checked over as he had been in the water for over 20 minutes but no further medical assistance was required.
