It’s been over a half century since paddle boards were made out of solid wood. Paddle boards and surfboards are made out of Styrofoam shapes wrapped in a sheet of fiberglass. There is nothing dense or hard about a board unless maybe somebody bolted an accessory anvil to it. And they dent easily, One would have to do a serious wind-up to hurt ones self with a board. I did know a guy who got hit in the cheek with the pointy nose of a board and needed some repairs. A paddle board most likely doesn’t even have a skeg so there simply aren’t even any rigid edges to get hit with.

So I’m throwing the BS flag on the notion that a guy was fatally wounded/knocked out with a paddle board. Flat water, No surf, no speed involved, nothing.

Thanks for your feedback regarding the paddle-board 'lethality'. Still, the most suspicious part about this whole matter is that the 'authorities' don't release just basic info. E.g., 'xxx was the other paddle-board partner; the phone call came from yyy.'
I respect people's privacy, but when a person working for the ex-President (and supposedly a friend) dies on the ex-President's property - a lot of this privacy should be forfeited. The taxpayers are paying for their private security detail, and we 'also' paid for his various palaces. Unlike President Trump, President Obama never worked an honest day in his life - and he's just living off the largess of political graft (i.e., money from the taxpayers).
