FOOTAGE shows the dramatic rescue of a surfer stranded in choppy waters and gale-force winds after getting dragged out to sea by a powerful rip current.

Ben Fraser, 30, was saved by Porthcawl RNLI after a member of the public walking their dog spotted him waving in distress.

Mr Fraser has 15 years of surfing experience but said he was not familiar with the strength of the rip current at Rest Bay and thought he would be able to paddle to safety.
