Surfer Drowns When Leash Gets Caught On Pier

by The Editors on October 17, 2009

Bilde-13A 15-year-old North Carolina surfer died in the Outer Banks on Friday when his leash became tangled in the pilings of the Avon Fishing pier according to a story in the Star-News of Wilmington.

The teenage boy, Craig Marshall (pictured on the left), a student at Topsail High School in Hampstead, was surfing with a group of eight teenagers on Hatteras Island when the current dragged him into Avon Fishing Pier sometime around 11:30 a.m., said Bob Helle, the assistant chief with the Hatteras Island Rescue Squad.

Our thoughts are with Marshall’s family and friends.
