After he was brought onshore, emergency responders administered first aid to him for 20 minutes before loading him into an ambulance. The weather forecast had been calling for strong winds, which drew the surfers to the beach, but then the storm hit with unexpected speed and force. The injured surfer was wearing a helmet and life jacket and was “fully prepared” for the weather. He just didn’t make it to shore in time, given the speed and ferocity of the storm.
