One of the few things that creeps us out about surfing late in the evening or early, early morning is bumping into something in the water. And these stories don’t help. Santa Cruz surfers got an eery surprise this morning when they found the body of a 43-year-old woman who had been missing since March 22, 2010, according to a story in the Santa Cruz Sentinel.
Around 8 a.m. Friday, surfers noticed Davis’ body floating in the water between the surf break and a small, sand beach at the base of the stairs that lead up to West Cliff Drive. Someone called 911 while Cabrillo College instructor Rick Graziani paddled out to the body. . . “It was kind of a weird way to start a surf session,” the Soquel resident said. “It was moving in toward where the surf zone was so I decided I would stay with the body … and also I just didn’t want to leave her there by herself after she had finally been found.”
Foul play is not suspected. The missing woman, Lee Davis, 43, was a wife and mother.
