[EN] On December 30, we received an emergency call together with the lifeguards of Reddingsbrigade Monster and KNRM Hoek van Holland for a kitesurfer in trouble near the Zandmotor. The kitesurfer had already been safely brought ashore by a fellow kitesurfer. The crew of the coastal emergency vehicle took care of the kitesurfer who had now become hypothermic. The coastguard helicopter landed on the beach to drop off the medic to check the kitesurfer. The lifeguards and police helped to create a safe landing zone. The body temperature had dropped to 34 degrees. The kitesurfer was eventually transported to the waiting ambulance. In the meantime, the lifeboat George Dijkstra has recovered the kite that was still floating at sea.

End of operation and all units could return to their base.
