You’re right. Here’s hopin’ he’s hanging 10 in Heaven.

However, you do have to admit that this was a rather foolish way to go - it isn’t like an accident, where it just happens to you, he did it on purpose. The real shame of it is that none of his friends or family had enough influence over him to persuade him to stay home, or at least just WATCH the waves. I get risk-taking for fun - I was young once, too. But I didn’t do anything quite this foolish.
As the old saying goes: there are old pilots, there are bold pilots, but there are no old, bold pilots. Apparently, the same applies to surfers.
