Santa Barbara County firefighters have cancelled the water rescue for two kite surfers off Gaviota Beach.
At 1:10 p.m. Sunday, crews responded to the state beach for a reporting party on the beach stating two kite surfers needed assistance in the water.
A State Parks lifeguard was on the scene with one paddle board and watercraft. County Fire Ocean Rescue Team personnel also responded with a watercraft and County Air Support helicopter 308 also responded.
The helicopter circled the area and reported the kite surfers were seen near Haskells Beach in Goleta without distress.
