At 5:16 p.m., crews responded to the scene with a water rescue unit, drone, and Air Support Helicopter 3.
The helicopter and done scanned the area to find the reported kite or wing surfer that the reporting party stated “appeared to be having trouble.”
Fire Captain Scott Safechuck later reported the ocean enthusiasts were safely located at Leadbetter Beach in Santa Barbara.
All resources have been cancelled are returning to service.
