Workington RNLI volunteers called out after reports of kite surfer in difficulty 05/04/2021 Workington RNLI was called out this morning to help a kite surfer after reports they had got into difficulty in the sea. The volunteer crew assembled and launched all weather lifeboat Dorothy May White at around 11.30am. The volunteers were alerted by Belfast Coastguard after members of the public had called with concerns that the surfer had fallen into the sea and was not able to get back on their board. Crew spoke to the kite surfer, who was okay but having a rest. The crew made sure he made it to the shore without incident, where Whitehaven Coastguard Rescue Team and Maryport Coastguard Rescue Team were waiting.
