The video shows a CAL Fire helicopter sending a rescuer down to the kite surfer. The rescuer secured the man, and both were lifted above the cliff to safety. The "HELP" sign was clearly visible along the shore. Authorities have not clarified how long the kite surfer, whose identity has not been disclosed, was stranded before being rescued. Fortunately, he did not require medical attention, CAL Fire reported.
The rescue was a joint operation involving CAL Fire, the Santa Cruz County Fire Department, and California State Parks.
