He was a surfing legend and will be greatly missed by all his fans. Unfortunately his wife is due to have their first baby in a month, cant imagine the pain she would be going through losing her husband.

Much respect, many condolences. A true champion.

 

[soop]

wonder if he was discharged or left of his own accord.

 

[dylanstone]

he left of his own accord

 

[soop]

Then I have to wonder whether or not he was given the all clear. If so, someone will be shot. If not...

He wanted to leave to go and treatment back home. The hospital probably made him sign a form saying that he was discharging himself against doctors advice and they were not responsible should anything happen. This wasnt the first time he had had dengue fever either, he had it a few years back and apparently 3 other surfers have come it as well. It's a sad day and surfing has lost one of its greatest legends.

He might be a good guy but he died because he was stupid
