Very sad indeed.

That beach is hardcore when its pumping. Rips every where. Massive dumping beach break. insane sweep up the beach.
Anyone of us would be in trouble if we went down on one of those days. Its a sobering thought. But when out in those conditions its the dice we roll!

That is extremely saddening to hear. My condolences.
Look out for each other out there. If you see someone in trouble kite over and see what you can do or at least alert someone more experienced to it. This could be any of us.
