aweful
wife and kids up there :-(
RIP

Sad news

Hoping he had a few great waves before hand

That'd be the first I can recall up there, surprising really, given the nature of the wave. RIP

Sad news RIP brother

terrible

my mate up there, due to some confused messages I initially thought it was him, which was a gut wrenching experience
the guy was paddling out with his son
hit reef between 2nd and third bubble
died instantly

the windsurfer was a german guy, broke his neck, high cervical level
never had a chance, and there were some very experienced doctors there at the time of that accident

same as the cott kite surfer, couldn't have had better medical care at the scene
or Phil Hughes cricketer, freaky things happen

That poor kid, what a horrible scenario.

RIP

Sooo tragic and sad. So much respect for those that were there and helped as much as they could. Couldn't imagine how his son is feeling.
