Death At Diamond Head?
I can't find anything on the guy who apparently drowned yesterday while surfing at DH Cliffs. The online editions of the local papers don't have a story on it. And I didn't watch the evening TV news because I was working all night.
I've heard from a few people about it. My friend said he saw the rescue unfolding and that it took a very-long time for the ambulance/EMTs to arrive. In his opinion, the long response time was unacceptable.
Another friend said Cliffs was going off. It was barreling. At least four broken boards counted.
From what I've gathered from several first-hand accounts, Town has been "all-time" and epic at many, many spots during the last two days. All sources agree that the waves have been awesome. A few have said in different ways they'd "never seen it like that before."
