A Port Alfred man in his sixties has died while kite-surfing at East Beach.
NSRI spokesperson, Craig Lambinon, says volunteers responded to a report of a kite-boarder in difficulty.
He says when they arrived on scene they found that bystanders were busy performing CPR on the 66-year-old man who had reportedly collapsed while kite-boarding with his son.
"On arrival on-scene our NSRI Port Alfred medics continued with the CPR efforts and our local multi-security control room were instrumental in summoning additional emergency medical support to respond to the scene," said Lambinon.
He was taken to hospital and extensive CPR efforts continued but he died.
