RedactedNarrative: On this date, the undersigned was dispatched to assist occupants of a kayak and paddle board who were in distress just off the west side of the Keansburg Fishing Pier, Keansburg Twp., Monmouth County. Upon arrival on scene, I found four individuals in distress. Three individuals were sitting on top of a paddle board and the forth individual was floating in the water holding onto a submerged kayak.
  
  The operator of Vessel #1, launched his kayak and his wife launched her paddle board from the shore in the Township of Union Beach, Monmouth County. 
  
  They began to paddle east towards the Keansburg Fishing Pier. OPERATOR 2 had both of her children sitting on top of her paddle board, PASSENGER 1 and VICTIM 1. When they reached the Keansburg Fishing Pier, they noticed the sea conditions were deteriorating and the wind speed was increasing. OPERATOR 2 was no longer able to make forward progress due to the sea and weather conditions. OPERATOR 1 removed his son, VICTIM 1, from the paddle board to bring him to the beach utilizing his kayak. Once the additional weight of VICTIM 1 was placed on the kayak, it began to slowly take on water. OPERATOR 1 continued towards the beach with the kayak. The additional weight from VICTIM 1 and the water made the kayak unstable. The kayak capsized, ejected both occupant, and began to sink. OPERATOR 1 was able to return VICTIM 1 to the paddle board and he held onto the kayak. OPERATOR 2 was able to make a distress call, 9-1-1, utilizing her cellphone.
  
  Upon arrival on scene, all parties were removed from the water, and the paddle board and kayak were collected. Due to the extreme low tide and shallow water, all parties were relayed to Keansburg EMS who were standing-by in an inflatable boat capable of operating in the shallow water. The Family were relayed to Trade Winds Marina in the Waackaack Creek. Once the Family reached the marina, they were provided first aid by Keansburg EMS. VICTIM 1 body temperature had dropped and was exhibiting signs of hypothermia. Keansburg EMS attempted to raise VICTIM 1 body temperature using warming techniques but they were not able to. VICTIM 1 was transferred to Bayshore Medical Center in Holmdel for further treatment. While at the hospital, VICTIM 1 body temperature was stabilized and he was released without incident.
  
  Conclusion:
  OPERATOR 1's kayak is rated for 275 lbs. as per the manufacturer and only has seating for one person. OPERATOR 1 and VICTIM 1 had an approximate combined weight of230 lbs. Due to the adverse weather
  conditions (2 foot seas and wind gust up to 20 miles per hour) and low freeboard of the kayak, the kayak began taking on water. The additional weight of the water and VICTIM made the kayak unstable and caused it to capsize. Furthermore, the water temperature and ambient temperature was approximately 54 degrees which caused all parties involved to suffer from hypothermia or exhibit signs of hypothermia.
