POLICE are desperately trying to identify a surfer who was rescued from the sea by lifeguards in an unconscious state.

The woman was seen in difficulties in the sea off Boscombe beach at around 11.15am Friday morning and was brought to the shore by lifegurards.

She was still attached to her surfboard.

The unconscious woman was taken to the Royal Bournemouth Hospital where she remains in a serious condition.

Sergeant Alexander Smith, of Boscombe police station, said: “So far we’ve been unable to identify the lady and it appears that she may well have been surfing on her own.”

The woman is white, believed to be in her 20s, about 5ft 7ins and of slim build with blue eyes and long blonde hair. She has a pierced lip and nose and was wearing a black O’Neill wetsuit.

She was using a very distinctive surfboard which is aqua blue in colour with J P Liquid Solutions – the name of the manufacturer – written on it.

Sergeant Smith continued: “I’d ask anyone who recognises the lady from this description to call Dorset Police urgently so that her family and friends can be contacted.”

Witnesses and anyone with information should call Dorset Police on 012… or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
