3 stand-up paddlers rescued off Kahala
Honolulu firefighters rescued three stand-up paddlers who ran into trouble in waters off the Kahala Hotel over the weekend.
At approximately 10:25 a.m. Sunday, firefighters responded to male paddlers in distress. Honolulu Fire Spokesman Capt. Kevin Mokulehua said the three male stand-up paddlers started paddling from Maunalua Bay and experienced difficulty in the water due to the strong winds.
Paddlers in canoes were in the area at the time and assisted them. Mokulehua said the stand-up paddlers held onto canoes until fire crews and lifeguards on jet skis and a rescue boat arrived.
The stand-up paddlers were approximately a mile off of Kahala Hotel when they were rescued and brought to shore at Kaimana Beach.
No injuries were reported.

Where’s their common sense? Small craft/strong wind advisory posted.
As you no who used to say: one`s just got to know their limitation`s.
There is no thing as common sense! Only experiences, which sounds like they have very little. Should charge them expenses for the rescue.
