A MAN has drowned and his friend has had a narrow escape after a mates' holiday turned to tragedy on the Sunshine Coast.
Five men holidaying from Gatton got into trouble in the surf at Fresh Water, south of Double Island Point, on Saturday afternoon after they decided to use an inflatable pool as a boat.
The group were thrown into the water when the blow-up pool overturned in the waves, with two of the men swept out to sea after they were caught in a rip.
Following attempts to rescue each other three of the men managed to scramble to shore, while the other two were later pulled from the water unconscious.
A 21-year-old man could not be revived, despite extensive resuscitation attempts, while a 25-year-old survived after he was treated by a doctor and paramedic from the AGL Action Rescue Helicopter.
He was later airlifted to Nambour General Hospital, along with a 19-year-old.
Both are in a stable condition.
The other two men were taken by ambulance to Noosa Hospital.
Severe high tides and rough surf have battered the south-east Queensland coast for the past two days, forcing the closure of many beaches.
