A QUICK-thinking sand castle builder became an unexpected hero when he used an NSRI pink rescue buoy to save a father and teenage daughter caught in dangerous rip currents at Brenton on Sea in Knysna.
NSRI Knysna station commander Jerome Simonis said after 1pm on Saturday, NSRI Knysna duty crew were activated following eyewitness reports of a drowning in progress.
Two people were reportedly in distress in the surf zone caught in rip currents.
NSRI rescue swimmers and off-duty NSRI lifeguards responded to the scene while the NSRI rescue craft JayTee IV and Katharine were launched. Police and ambulance services also responded.
