Reports of waka capsized 800m off shore from Shell (near Goat Pt) and 6 people in the water. 2 other waka in the vicinity trying to assist. Police activated us and we launched MR2. Nothing found on location. 2 surf boats training in the area reported seeing waka heading back up the channel to Onepoto harbour. Called Police to report this and they confirmed that they were safe and well and had just sent a stand-down. Returned to base.
