Bodyboarding visitor saved from rip current
Maui firefighters Saturday morning rescued a male visitor caught in a rip current at Hamoa Beach in East Maui.
The incident happened at 10:52 a.m., Maui County said by email. Hana firefighters were conducting ocean training activities at the popular beach when someone noticed a bodyboarder waving his arms over his head. A firefighter paddled out about 150 yards with a rescue board and brought the man safely back to shore.
He did not require medical attention.
The 34-year-old man, visiting from Salt Lake City, Utah, was bodyboarding with two other friends when he was caught by the rip current. The other two bodyboarders were able to make it back on their own.
None of the three was using swim fins.
