The local news site videos and the rescuers YouTube feed say he was in a FolBoat that collapsed.

The fish bite twice a day - just before we get here and right after we leave.

the video says it was a "Porta-boat" not a "Folboat",  two completely different watercraft.  https://www.porta-bote.com/

You getting a new ride?  :spittake: if someone takes that in the ocean be sure there’s plenty of GoPro footage as it folds in on them in the swells!

“Porta-potty” then? If it folds keep it out of the ocean, and don’t jump around too much! Either way the idiots damn lucky a kayaker was out there because there’s no motor to drown out his calls for help.... or he’d have been drown!

Still a foldable death trap.  Even the British commando's of Cockleshell Heroes fame used a more reliable design. (Klepper)
What worries me most is that the guy doesn't appear to be wearing a PFD .
