3 children, father rescued off Anglesey beach during Storm Lilian; Moelfre RNLI warns against paddleboarding in extreme conditions.
Three children and a father were rescued by the Moelfre coastguard and lifeboat crew after they were swept out to sea on a single paddleboard during strong winds from Storm Lilian at Anglesey's Traeth yr Ora beach. A former coastguard warned the father about the dangers, but he insisted on his experience. All four were brought back to shore safely, prompting the Moelfre RNLI to urge people not to paddle board in such conditions, emphasizing the importance of wearing flotation devices and having means of communication.
