Jersey Coastguard and Jersey Fire and Rescue Service were called to help several surfers in trouble at St Ouen's Bay this morning (20 February).
They all managed to get themselves back to shore but two were taken to hospital, one suffering from shock, the other with shock and hypothermia.
JFRS want to highlight the risk associated with undertaking sea based activities in difficult conditions.
It comes on the day surf schools in the islands say they have seen a large increase in the number of people taking up the sport since the first lockdown.
There is a warning, though, that this time of year is not a good time to start surfing as the tides and winds are strong and potentially dangerous.
