Last night friends and family of Adrian Ruiz, the 25 year-old surfer who was killed by a shark near Troncones, Mexico, gathered for a traditional Hawaiian paddle out.
Holding a surfboard, Misty Spinney said it was Ruiz who taught her to surf at Linda Mar. “He was my best friend,” she said, “He was the most beautiful person, fun charasmatic loyal, fun human being to be around and you don’t say that about anybody. He was legit. . . . His mother, Sharla McDaniel struggled to hold back tears. “I feel him out here, it’s part of who he is,” she said.
