Another freak accident happened yesterday in the Mentawai Islands. This young girl was surfing at Beng Beng’s when a small swordfish jumped out of the water and struck her in her chest. She died. As a surfer, it really hurts to hear stories like this. We’ve been to the Mentawai’s, we’ve surfed Beng Beng’s, and we experienced swordfish jumping in the ocean. But for one to strike you in the heart and kill you while you’re surfing, that’s crazy. Who knows when it’s our time to die? But as every hard core surfer will tell you, dying doing what you love is the best way to go. My condolences to this girls family and friends. She’s still surfing the wave that will never end…
