POOLE lifeboat was launched after a member of the public reported seeing a windsurfer enter the water and not re-emerge.

The lifeboat was launched at 2pm on Saturday to an area near Parkstone Yacht Club.

Volunteers to spoke to a group of windsurfers and found they were well organised and looking out for each other and they confirmed they had not seen anyone else in the vicinity.

The lifeboat searched towards Parkstone and Salterns and back to the original position.

The harbour rib joined the search but nothing untoward was found, it was considered a call with good intent.
