The RNLI has released bodycam footage of the moment 18 kayakers and paddleboarders were rescued from the sea.

They were part of a group of 32 adults and children who got into difficulty on Tuesday at Cullercoats Bay.

Everyone involved was brought back to safety, although one of the children was taken to hospital as a precaution.

RNLI lifeguard George Legg said the “intense situation” occurred because the kayakers had been caught in force five winds outside the harbour which created “lots of wind chop”.

Tynemouth RNLI Coxswain Sam Clow said every child had an adult with them.

“When we debriefed with them afterwards, we heard that they had done everything correctly when they became aware of the difficulties they were in,” he said.
