The kayaker missing off Cable Bay in Northland has been located safe by a local boatie around 9.20am today.
Police were notified yesterday evening that the man in his 30s had not returned, after heading out in a kayak earlier that day.
Coastguard, Police Search and Rescue, and Far North LandSAR volunteers had resumed a search this morning.
The man was brought to shore at nearby Coopers Beach, and other than being cold and hungry, is uninjured.
He was wearing a lifejacket.
