Search for New Zealander missing off southeast Queensland coast continues

The search for the New Zealander missing off the Queensland coast has continued today.

Jordan Kelly, 26, failed to return on Saturday after he went out surf skiing off Brisbane's coast.

His friend Jack McDonald wound up holding onto Jordan's surf ski. 

McDonald told police how his exhausted mate "slipped away" after they spent hours clinging it.

Eight vessels and four jet skis have been called in with search efforts this morning, focusing on the area around Moreton Island, just off the coast of southeastern Queensland.

Kelly's mother, father and brothers have also arrived in Australia to assist.

Efforts are expected to continue until Thursday, when officials will decide on their next steps.
