Surfer Missing In Sumatra After Breaking Leash

by The Editors on July 24, 2011

Daniel Bobis, a 32-year-old high school surf coach from Long Beach, New York who was in Sumatra with his wife reportedly went missing Sunday, July 24, 2011, according to a story in the My Fox Ny.

“It was just a day like any other here,” Bobis’ pal Brian Lonergan, 32, told the Post through tears. “Danny had just taken a wave before me, I was further outside. I noticed as I came through that I couldn’t see him and a few minutes later his board washed up on the shore.”

Bobis and Lonergan were surfing out of Krui Damai Bungalow surf camp. Lonergan, Bobis’s wife Rachel and camp owner Jason King reportedly spent the day searching for Daniel, but did not find him. Divers have reportedly joined the search. Our thoughts are with his family and friends, especially with his wife Rachel.
