i probably would have never noticed. i never really pay attention to other people out there, just the guys fishing to see whats going on.

A grim reminder that when we are on the water, if we lose out ability to sit/stand upright, there's no ground to fall on... Only water to drown in.
Good looking out, and good job having the situational awareness to quickly assess & assist in the situation. We need more people with this type of assertiveness in the world.

Tony should be commended, a situation came up one time, him and I were coming into DP harbor from a nice day, we came into the entrance and Tony and I noticed a yak upside down, my first thought was a fellow fisherman and all his gear sinking to the bottom, however upon seeing this, we both went over to the upside down yak and found it to be a rental, and the paddler hanging off the side, clearly out of breath and kinda panicking, he could not get back in,
There must have been a dozen others around, and we watched another yakker paddle right by him prior to our arrival, Tony and I surrounded him and assisted him back into the yak. As much attention as we pay to our surroundings, PBs, jetskis, ships, rogue wakes, and then add the normal fishing concerns, I think it is everyones responsibility to at least try and help out someone in need on the water if they are able, most of us are pretty experienced, but if something were to happen to me out there I would sure hope that someone like Tony, and Greg were around to give me a hand.... .

Good job Greg. When it comes to being on the water. SUP, Kayak, Surf or boating it's the immediate people around you who are your best chance for survival incase of emegency. Sounds like you're spot on with your guess of it being a stroke.
Here's a good article called "Drowning doesn't look like drowning" http://mariovittone.com/2010/05/154/ |

There must be something in that air near King Harbor that prevents some people from helping others in need. Thanks God people like Greg, Tony and the rest of us still exist.

As the others have already said many kudoes to you two!
I used to work for a hospital system and we were taught to look for certain symptoms heres a link to the quick way to recognize some of the signs: http://www.methodisthealthsystem.org/FAST We were taught to think and act fast as a stroke doesn't always "look" like a stroke, you two seem to have that down pat!!! Hope the fates bring you many great fishing trips and big fish your way soon. |

I called the harbor patrol office at redondo today just because i was curious and they told me they cant release that type of information....i guess we'll never really know what happened...hopefully he made it and with no ill effects. Always watchout for anybody that looks like they're in trouble it doesnt hurt to ask if your not sure. Im just glad that greg and i could do something to help.
