Search for missing surf skier Jordan Kelly continues, as calls put out for more volunteers to help

Volunteers and police search crews have gathered for a third day in the hope of finding a surf skier who went missing in Moreton Bay, with calls for anyone with a boat or jetski to help out.

Volunteers and police search crews have gathered for a third day at Amity Point on North Stradbroke Island in hopes of finding lost surf skier Jordan Kelly who went missing on Saturday.

The family of Trent Riley, who disappeared in Moreton Bay six weeks ago, have offered their help, with his brother Shannon and his father Fred finishing a three-hour foot search along the Amity Point beach by lunchtime.

Members of Truth Embassy, the grassroots families from North Stradbroke, have joined the search to help comfort Jordan’s family including his parents who flew in yesterday from New Zealand.

More than $36,000 has been raised in less than 24 hours for the family.

The Give A Little page asked for donations towards the search and rescue mission to find the missing surf skier.

“We are so incredibly thankful for all of the words of support, messages and offers of help,” the post read.

“We are especially grateful to the Brisbane Water Police who have been leading the search mission, and all the other incredible volunteers from other organisations and community groups involved.”

All donations would be going towards supporting volunteers and deploying more search and rescue teams.

Volunteers wrapped up the third day of searching at around 3pm on Tuesday with plans for another big push tomorrow as more locals have offered vessels to assist.

Local volunteers and police search crews have gathered for the third day at Amity Point on North Stradbroke Island in hopes of finding lost surf skier Jordan Kelly.

Holidaymakers who heard of the news have also offered to help with their own boats and jet skis as the search crew hunt for more vessels to put on the water.

Nathan Ebert, a Moreton Bay local who helped to organise the Trent Riley search, has used his contacts on the mainland to try to organise additional boats to be sent over for the search.

Volunteers have been searching on foot along Amity Point as well as the southern point of Moreton Island, Reeders Point.

“At this point it’s repetitive but it’s what we can do at the moment,” Mr Ebert said.

Queensland Police have 11 vessels out today, a helicopter, two police drones, police dive unit, an all-terrain vehicle on Moreton Island and external agencies assisting (SLSQ, Parks and Wild life) both on Stradbroke Island and Moreton Island.

The volunteers in the search crew have asked if anyone with a boat or jetski on the mainland who want to assist to meet at Amity Point.
