U.S. Coast Guard crews rescued a windsurfer who got separated from his gear and became stranded near Coyote Point in San Mateo on the evening of Sept. 18.
The windsurfer contacted Coast Guard Sector San Francisco around 5 p.m. via a handheld very high frequency (VHF) radio and said he was separated from his gear, was not wearing a life jacket, and needed immediate assistance, according to the Coast Guard.
