Sad news
« on: February 18, 2018, 11:27:40 AM »
A young surfer died on one of our local beaches in The Tofino area a week ago. Very sad news. It sounds like some sort of head trauma and drown. No official report yet but an exceptionally rare event out here. My thoughts go out to his family and friends as well as those who attempted a rescue.
