Fisherman rescued from his kayak

A fisherman was rescued when his kayak began filling with water after being caught in large surf Sunday morning off Kanaha Beach Park, according to the Maui Fire Department.

An ocean safety officer on a rescue watercraft located the fisherman, a 45-year-old Wailuku man, who was outside the surf zone. He and his kayak were returned to shore.

Kahului engine and rescue crews also responded to the call at 7:57 a.m. near Kite Beach.

At the time, light winds were reported with rising large surf.
