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.
