On Monday night, Cape Medical Response (CMR) responded to a call after a kitesurfer received a leg injury at Misty Cliffs Beach near the Crayfish Factory.
According to the website for Arrive Alive, an ambulance and paramedics were called to assist.
The NSRI was also dispatched, and a Stokes basket was required to assist in transporting the patient to safety.
On arrival, it was established that a 24-year-old Dutch tourist had fractured his leg; he was treated and stabilized on the beach prior to being put in a Stokes basket.
With the assistance of NSRI, he was then taken up the embankment along the path to a CMR Ambulance that was waiting on the road. He was then transported to the hospital in a stable condition.
