A search for a kayaker was called off after authorities learned no one had been using the abandoned kayak found early Friday morning.
Lifeguards called in a "kayak adrift" around 7:02 a.m. after the kayak was found, which prompted the search for one person.
Just before 8 a.m., the Los Angeles County Fire Department had a boat and helicopter en route to aid with the search near Terranea Resort and Point Vicente off the coast of Rancho Palos Verdes.
The search was called off 9:20 a.m. after fire officials learned the kayak had just broken away, according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
