Noland Keaulana who is a lifeguard with the Honolulu Safety Department answered an emergency call from his wife on Wednesday evening that a teenager Kahiau Kawai who was in the ocean who accidentally drifted away from his kayak capsized during a high school practice.
Noland along with other rescuers went into the ocean to rescue Kahiau who had been in the ocean for a period of 12 hours when the rescue team were able to rescue the 17 year old male who was clinging to a kayak.
Kawai was taken to a local hospital in Honolulu Hawaii where he is in serious and stable condition and will make a full recovery thanks to the off duty lifeguard and the United States Coast Guard on Thursday morning.

That kid was lucky to be rescued and should not have been out there on his own,

Kahiau admits that his line of work is dangerous but insists he will stay doing riding in a kayak.

There are so many sports that I hear about and I say that they should not be done! But some people love the adrenaline, I suppose. I´m glad that he could be rescued.

That is true that many of us like the adrenaline of sports even if it dangerous.

12 hours in the drink is a long time, and maybe he was lucky that the water was not too cold in that area.

The water was not too cold for Kahiau to survive in the Pacific Ocean for the period of time he was in the ocean when he was rescued.

12 hours is a long time to be in the water. I'm glad he was rescued and I hope he makes a full recovery.
