Stephan Hierhofer, 37, was reportedly surfing on his honeymoon in Capo Noli, Italy when he was knocked off his new surfboard and swept out to sea, according to a story in the Austrian Times.
Hierhofer ended up more than 50 miles from the beach where he’d waved to his wife as he tried out his new board in Capo Noli, northern Italy. . . Coastguards scrambled a rescue helicopter when his frantic family dialed emergency services after seeing a massive wave knock the 37-year-old teacher from Cologne, Germany, off his board. . . .But he was only saved when a yachtsman spotted him miles adrift further down the coast the next day.
Yet another reminder that taking surfboards on honeymoons is a bad, bad, omen.
