Surfers save fellow surfer after he goes unconscious while in the water

Surfers saved a fellow surfer at Jenness State Beach in New Hampshire after they realized something was wrong with the man while he was in the water.

Around 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 20, a surfer began having a medical emergency while he was surfing and went unconscious, Rye Police Chief Kevin Walsh and Fire Chief Mark Cotreau said in a statement.

Other surfers at the beach noticed something was wrong and pulled the surfer from the water, officials said. Rye lifeguards then began delivering critical life-saving care.

The man was taken to Portsmouth Regional Hospital for further treatment.
