The storm Carmel: Haifa lifeguards rescued a kite surfer in a stormy sea at Bat Galim beach • Watch the documentation

This week, in the midst of Storm Carmel, the lifeguards of the bathing beach in Bat Galim, under the management of Ofer Moshe, rescued a kite surfer who got into trouble. The surfer went out in the Shikmona beach area when a few minutes later the wind dropped and the parachute collapsed into the water. The surfer, whose name is kept in the system, was swept towards the northeast and his life was in danger, due to the high waves and the strong drift. The surfer drifted towards the northeast and his friends called the marine police, but they were unable to reach him due to the difficult conditions. When the lifeguards spotted him at Bat Galim beach, station manager Ofer Moshe made the decision to go out with a jet ski to rescue him.

  1. How many are disturbed? If you were a kite surfer, would you want this kind of treatment for you and your sport?

  2. His ambition is great for rescuers who do holy work.
    professionals.
    Well done???

  3. Well done friends. Did you save one, did you save a whole ?????????

  4. Hahahaha "Storm Carmel" hahahaha
    The first time in the history of Israel that they give a name to the storm, and what they get is a little tiptops here and there.
    Remember the nameless storm of January 2020?
    Do you know why there was no need to rescue surfers then? Because there really was a storm, so surfers didn't go out to sea.
    You are helping Klish save her name by acting like there is now a storm.
    Makes it look like this time she came prepared unlike January 2020.
    When the truth is that if the storm of that time happened again, the city would collapse in exactly the same way.

  5. Kudos to the lifeguards of the Haifa municipality who risk their lives at every moment and are ready to rescue in any dangerous sea. Thanks to Klish and the select beach management team that operates and employs the lifeguards during the cold and stormy winter.

  6. Rescue fees should be collected from those who go out in storms. I recommend 500 shekels for rescue.
    Why should rescuers risk themselves and the vessels in storm waves because of how disturbed they are

    • When a person is saved, he is saved from danger.
      The work of lifeguards inherently involves risk, otherwise they are not lifeguards.
      Every month, property taxes are taken from the surfers to finance the salary of the rescuers, whether they saved a person or not.
      Why, the one time they do the dangerous work they committed themselves to, should those who until now financed them be fined?

  7. Kudos to the rescuers of Haifa. Good luck, Shabbat Shalom.
