The body of high school surfing coach Daniel Bobis was reportedly found by local fisherman five days after he went missing while surfing out of Sumatra’s Krui Damai surf camp on Sunday, July 24, 2011, according to a story in the Washington Post.
Daniel Bobis apparently hit another surfer’s board after emerging from the barrel of a powerful, 10-foot (3-meter) wave. His leash broke and his board washed to shore. A member of the search and rescue team said Bobis’ body was found about 20 miles (32 kilometers) from where he’d last been seen.
Our thoughts are with Bobis’s family and friends. As Kelly Slater said about Bobis in a Tweet last night: “He was a good man.”
