Chris Farrant performed two rescues and now wants more holiday accommodation to promote sea safety.
Chris Farrant said the rescues made him nervous and he plans to do first aid trainingA learner surfer left shaken after performing two separate rescues is urging holiday accommodation providers to warn guests about rip currents.
On the first occasion in August 2022 he spotted a man aged around 60 in trouble stuck in a rip current who he believed "didn't have much longer left" to live. "It put me off surfing for quite some time, I didn't really go back in the water there for a bit just because of the anxiety it caused me".On 5 September he finally felt able to go back in the water and began surfing only to see a young man "flailing about, calling for help" and "clearly struggling a lot".
He said he wanted accommodation providers to do more to warn visitors how dangerous the sea can be in Cornwall and"I do think a certain responsibility falls on Airbnbs, hotels and things like that, to warn them at check-in".Mr Farrant said he was "put off surfing" for nearly a year after his first rescue
