However, battling the 3 metre swells he was becoming tired as he was pulled further from shore.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Kalya said it took several jumps to get into the bitterly cold surf, and while he was not scared on the way to his brother, who was now 60m from shore, he was scared when he reached him, and the pair had to return.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">He was concerned that he and his brother might not make it back to shore, but was relieved when they did so, cold and tired.
