Sadly, the story of Dane Williams, the missing Hurley International marketing worker hasn’t ended the way we all hoped: he didn’t run off with in someone’s private jet to catch first tracks, or to ride a secret wave.
Police were called by a man who saw the body in the alley off 52nd Street near Towle Court about 6:30 a.m., said homicide Lt. Kevin Rooney. . . . Rooney said the physical description matched that of Dane Chandler Williams, who was last seen about 2 a.m. Saturday at 6th and K streets in downtown San Diego. The clothing also appeared to match what Williams was wearing when he disappeared, Rooney said.
Williams family has since identified the body. Police do not as yet have a cause of death, but an “autopsy has been scheduled for Wednesday.”

Dane Chandler Williams was last seen at Sixth and K streets leaving the Hard Rock Hotel around 2 a.m. Saturday, according to San Diego police Sgt. Garry Collins. . . . Williams is from the Los Angeles area and in town for the Action Sports Retailers trade show. He did not return to his hotel room after leaving the restaurant, nor did he show up for work at the convention the next day, Collins said.

One of the great things about the Billabong Pro Teahupoo is that it runs right through the middle of the West Coast’s work day allowing most of the surf industry to spend a few August days “hard at work” with their browsers open to the Billabong Pro live feed. But not yet. Today was the first day of the waiting period and it’s a lay day and the next couple days look the same, according to event organizers.
“We monitored conditions for a good while this morning and deemed it not contestable,” Richie Porta, ASP International Head Judge, said. “It was very small and just too inconsistent to run. We’re working with everyone, the surfers, the organizers, the forecasters to ensure that the athletes have the best possible conditions.”
