A witness said it was 'agonising' to watch the emergency teams try to save the watersports enthusiast stuck in the North Sea off the Fife coast.
A paddle boarder who drifted miles out to sea sparked an emergency rescue operation off the coast of Fife.
The casualty was helped onto the lifeboat and transferred to the Mersey class all-weather lifeboat, before being taken to Anstruther Harbour to meet waiting paramedics. "We urge anyone who spots someone in difficulty to do the same and dial 999 and ask for the Coastguard."
