HONOLULU (AP) — A search has ended for a kayaker who has been missing off Oahu.
Honolulu fire crews used jet skis and dive gear to search coastal areas with no success Thursday and then said the hunt was over unless new information becomes known.
The Coast Guard ended its sea search on Wednesday.
Fifty-three-year-old Russell Yoshida of Waialua never returned after setting off for a fishing trip at his favorite spot Monday night.
The two agencies started looking for him right away and recovered his paddle and fishing pole.
Yoshida was in a 10-foot kayak.
He was not wearing a life jacket.
