The U.S. Coast Guard rescued a stranded kite surfer in Vinoy Park, Tampa Bay, on Aug. 30, officials said.
A bystander saw 42-year-old Jason Chavez in distress and called in a watchstander at around 12:30 p.m.
The watchstander communicated the distress call to the Coast Guards, who arrived within 15 minutes and helped Chavez on to their 45-foot boat.
No injuries were reported.
Chavez got himself into trouble when the weather changed while he was kite surfing.
A sudden change in the weather resulted in the wind dying down, leaving Chavez stranded in the water.
