HM Coastguard then tasked the RNLI hovercraft to assist with the transportation of the man.
Lifeboat operations manager Steve Wilson authorised the launch of the hovercraft, commanded by Ross Simpson and three crew.
A helicopter was also going to the area to assist.
The crew arrived on scene and immediately assessed the casualty. Once they had stabilised him they transferred him to a waiting ambulance.
The helicopter was stood down and the crew made back to the hover station for the awaiting shore crew to turn the hover around ready for the next shout.
Both shore and hover crew then made their ways to their day jobs.
An excellent multi-agency operation, well done all.
