Surfing at Mavericks is almost a death wish. 

Yeah, even the best surfers in the world die there. If catching a wave at Mavericks was on my bucket list, I might look geeky, but I’m wearing a helmet, life vest, and a gps device that would allow them to see my exact location. I got caught in rip current when I was 12 at Newport Beach in So. Cal, and it carried me waaaaay out there. 

Prayers to his family.

Horrible news, and unfortunately a common occurrence along the Northern CA coast. The rip currents and sneaker waves are notorious. 

Very unfortunate.  Most surfers know you shouldn't try to swim out of a riptide, just let it carry you out then swim sideways.  Even world class swimmers can't swim against a riptide.
