Lifeguards had their hands full Wednesday with a cliff rescue in Torrey Pines.
Rescuers were sent out at about noon after getting a call from a student who saw the parasail go down around noon.
Lifegaurds hiked up from the bottom of the cliff to help the man, who was stranded and injured. Rescuers at the top of the cliff then lowered a backboard to help him ease him down to the beach.
The man was taken to the hospital with injuries to his ankles.
