Surfer helps rescue family from rip at Piha
Kia ora neighbours, a surfer at one of Auckland’s west coast beaches helped to rescue a family who got into trouble in the water.
Shortly after 7.30pm on Sunday, the Piha Surf Life Saving search and rescue squad was alerted by police to a child in distress off Piha’s Lion Rock.
A spokesman for Northern region surf lifesaving said volunteers responded to the incident immediately from their homes and three lifeguards swam into the water with rescue tubes.
But by this time, the children and their father were already back on the shore, with the help of surfer and Piha local Nick Brown-Haysom.
