(LINCOLN CITY, Ore. ) - The Coast Guard rescued a 15-year-old male boogie boarder near Lincoln City, Ore., Tuesday.

Coast Guard Station Depoe Bay received a call around 11:00 AM of a boogie boarder in distress.

A 47-foot motor life boat crew, a 25-foot response boat crew and a beach search crew were dispatched to the last known location of the boy.
