A man was brought back to life by a local lifeguard after suffering a heart attack while surfing at Noosa Main Beach on Friday morning.
The man in his 60s went into cardiac arrest and was pulled from the water by two surfers who spotted the man in the water after falling from his surf board.
A QAS spokeswoman said paramedics responded to the incident off Claude Batten Drive at Noosa Main Beach.
“The patient was transported to Noosa Hospital in a serious condition at around 8.30am,“ she said.
Noosa Lifeguard Josh Jones came out of the West Tower to assist the surfers and brought the man back to life with a defibrillator.
An off-duty paramedic also assisted Josh.
The man is believed to be recovering and will be returning home from hospital this week.
