You can't breathe water. Could be a heart attack though.

I was just done surfing another spot nearby and a couple of emergency vehicles passed me with lights on. Now I know why.

Where I surfed had overhead sets. Saw a good looking wave at Rincon on the drive by.

wind was funky.

If you drove past you wouldn’t even look twice

Just one question.

Do you have to be gay to surf there or does surfing there eventually make you gay?

Not keen to the homosex, maybe Duffy can chime in?

Probably one of the most ideal spots in CA for an adult noob to learn how to paddle into a wave and stand on a longboard.

You would have to ask Duffy, he's the one surfing Mondos, while Rincon is killing surfers

RIP.

One of the most popular, heavily surfed spots in California.

My good friend just passed recently surfing Point Arena.

The bottom line is, you paddle out and you are basically on your own. Nobody is going to babysit you.

You and nature. At the end of the day. Surfing has been so dumbed down since I was a grom. Just how much more oversight can it take?

It's a dangerous sport and there is a limit of personal responsibility every surfer needs to assess before they paddle out. "Can I handle"???

 

[Leaverite]

May not have even been this poor guys fault.

He could have been clocked by a loose board or some idiot on a SUP.

Random....

 

[everysurfer]

Stay safe Duffy, good to hear you know your limits

RIP to him. I knew him. Big bummer. Super nice guy. I'll honestly always remember his smile and good nature.
Shredding guitar player, Carp and RIncon loc for life. Young 38. RIP and may peace be with your family and loved ones.

Everyone likes to joke around about Mondos but it GOES OFF once every few years.

BTW You tools may as well change the title to this thread to 'MONDOS' since you guys are all in love with that shite hole.

What a stupid topic to talk on when a guy died surfing rincon today. Have some respect.
