A paraglider who died on a Raglan beach is understood to have collapsed after landing.
Raglan Surf Lifesaving crews yesterday valiantly tried to save the man, believed to be aged around 60, without success.
Surf Life Saving Northern Region Search and Rescue Supervisor John Michael-Swannix said the man was found unconscious on Ngārunui beach.
"The surf life guards on patrol at Raglan began performing CPR before the ambulance arrived on the scene."
