The four had been missing since Sunday night when their wooden speedboat struck rough weather en route to the remote Banyak Islands. As the boat sunk the Australians and three Indonesian crew members grabbed what they could to help their survival. Foote was found hours later by a local fisherman over 20 nautical miles away, having left the group and attempted to paddle to the nearby island of Pulau Palambakbesar on his surfboard to find help. Rescuers have not yet located the third Indonesian crew member. #news #surfers #indonesia #rescue #aceh #surfing #breakingnews Subscribe to our journalism: https://subscribe.smh.com.au/ https://subscribe.theage.com.au/ Listen to our podcasts: https://podcasts.smh.com.au/ https://podcasts.theage.com.au/
