Not good. Such a magic morning. Hope he got some good waves.
Last week I paddled in because a dead seal was floating in the water.
This morning I checked the same spot I usually surf on my own and it didn't feel right so went home to see what the fam was doing. They were heading out to the paddock so I went back to the beach and saw the commotion.
It's put a dark cloud over a beautiful day.
Rest in peace brother.

Funny how it feels wrong some days.

Rest in peace

Seal colony on the back of south point are why the gws are there

Stay safe Hilly. We're seeing more of them over here Hilly but not as many as you. Raining in Merimbula apparently so it's not as good as last year........but they do have a small waves. Hope to get you over again next year.

RIP to another lost brother,really feel for you WA boys must be a real mind **** just going for a surf this time of year.

Rip, such an awful thing .. but I find it strange the surf community pretends shark shields dont exist.

Was a local Sunshine Coast guy. So sad.

THE Queensland surfer killed by a shark off the coast of Western Australia on Saturday has been remembered as a "legend and inspiration".

Chris Boyd, 35, from Queensland's Sunshine Coast, died in waters off Gracetown, about 300 kilometres south of Perth.

The keen surfer, known to his friends as "Boydy", moved from Queensland to WA only a year ago to chase big swells.
Members of his former club, Coolum Boardriders, said his death was a "massive loss" to the Sunshine Coast's surfing community.

In a post on the group's Facebook page, the club said: "The surfing world and in particular the Yaroomba surf community today has suffered a massive loss."

Just found out he was the son of Charlie Boyd a guy I knew , I met his son down at Iluka once. Very sad Charlie is a great guy , so im sure his son was too.

That says it all Mel! Just shows that the big grey fellas are the real locals and were cruising those waters long before we decided it would be a nice to play. RIP 'Boydy'.
