Strong waves caused the man to fall from his board and struggle in the water. A beachgoer noticed the situation and alerted the authorities. Maritime assets SG-414 and SG-050 from the Kashubian Border Guard Division, along with R-30 from the Maritime Search and Rescue Service (SAR) station in Tolkmicko, were immediately dispatched.
