Injured windsurfer rescued by Exmouth RNLI
Rescuers helped an injured windsurfer on Exmouth beach today (Saturday, November 7).
The town's RNLI volunteer lifesaving crew came across a windsurfer who appeared to be struggling some distance off Exmouth Lifeboat Station at about 2pm.
The inshore lifeboat, D-755 Peggy-D, was being manned by Helm, Harry Griffin and crew Mark Cockman and Dougie Wright, as part of a pre-planned exercise.
Due to the circumstances and location, the crew were on the scene immediately where they discovered the individual had dislocated his shoulder.
They took the casualty on board, administered first aid and transported him to the safety of
shore. Once on land the casualty was able to put his shoulder back in place without further medical or other aid, at which point the lifeboat resumed its exercise.
