A missing California man, Sam Zhoum, 35 of the San Francisco Bay Area, who rented a surfboard and paddled out at Laniakea on the North Shore of Oahu only to disappear in three to six foot surf was encouraged to take a surf lesson by a surf shop employee but declined, according to a story on KHON 2 TV. Now, the story has gotten even worse.
Around 7:30 Wednesday morning a fire search helicopter made a gruesome discovery about a mile and a half from Laniakea. . . “They saw a body off shore Papailoa Point about a quarter mile off, and they also saw sharks, three large Tiger Sharks exhibiting aggressive behavior and shortly after they were no longer able to see the body,” said Honolulu Fire Department Capt. Terry Seelig.
The man, reportedly from the San Francisco Bay area was in his 30s.
[Update 2:25 PM: “This morning, a resident walking on Papailoa Point Beach found a pair of ragged black shorts. Police identified the shorts as belonging to Zhoum.” Hawaii News Now. Sounds like one of those tigers must have coughed them up.
unnecessary & tasteless comment about the shorts.
