He was initially spotted lifeless in the surf by 13-year-old, Abby, who screamed for help. “I yelled for help and a guy came and flipped (him) over,” she told 9NEWS. Paramedics treated Mr Lynch at the scene, shocking his heart five times to stabilise him. Mr Lynch, now out of hospital, said he has “no recollection” of his near-death experience. “I have no recollection of paddling out. I have no recollection of who was out there.”
