How's about a round of applause for the young fella that swam 4 hours to get help for his family.
And what's to be said of the company that hired out gear with a strong offshore wind coming, I'm not across it but sounds questionable.

And didn't raise the alarm when it wasn't returned

I think he's a champ. Only ever swum 350m

I thought hire company was crap but turns out the resort allows people to just use stuff as long as it's back at the end of the day. You can't really expect the arvo shift front desk person to know someone went paddle boarding in the morning with the free for all equipment
So it's not a hire place with a set return in two hrs kinda deal

just glad they're all ok it musta been terrifying

Forecast was bad for what they intended to do .The resort should be aware of water conditions impacting activities or don't offer them at all .Blow up sups are terrible in any wind.

Erhh nah. Gonna have to point the finger at the mother in that case. We already live in a nanny state, let's not suggest that resorts need to babysit their guests.

Just a hunch but I'm pretty sure they'll be reviewing their proceedures.

Yep, no more stuff guests can use will be the new procedure.

A sign that says check the weather forecast before going out would be ample.
