Good job Greg. When it comes to being on the water. SUP, Kayak, Surf or boating it's the immediate people around you who are your best chance for survival incase of emegency. Sounds like you're spot on with your guess of it being a stroke.

Here's a good article called "Drowning doesn't look like drowning"

There must be something in that air near King Harbor that prevents some people from helping others in need. Thanks God people like Greg, Tony and the rest of us still exist.

As the others have already said many kudoes to you two!

I used to work for a hospital system and we were taught to look for certain symptoms heres a link to the quick way to recognize some of the signs: http://www.methodisthealthsystem.org/FAST

We were taught to think and act fast as a stroke doesn't always "look" like a stroke, you two seem to have that down pat!!!

Hope the fates bring you many great fishing trips and big fish your way soon.

I called the harbor patrol office at redondo today just because i was curious and they told me they cant release that type of information....i guess we'll never really know what happened...hopefully he made it and with no ill effects. Always watchout for anybody that looks like they're in trouble it doesnt hurt to ask if your not sure. Im just glad that greg and i could do something to help.
