Santa Cruz Wind Surfer Rescued Sunday
Fire officials said the wind surfer's sail became disabled.
SANTA CRUZ, CA — A helicopter crew lifted a windsurfer to safety Sunday evening on the coast of Davenport in unincorporated Santa Cruz County, Cal Fire officials said. As of 5:55 p.m. the windsurfer was on the top of a cliff near Davenport Beach following a rescue by a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter crew.
Medics assessed the windsurfer and found he had no medical needs. He needed help because his sail was disabled, CAL Fire spokesman Scott McLean said. The windsurfer was able to get to a beach but the tide and cliffs prevented him from getting himself to safety.
