Former world junior surfing champion Kalani David died over the weekend on a Costa Rican beach after suffering a seizure while in the sea practicing the sport in which he excelled, friends and authorities said. He was 24 years old.
Kalani David advances to the quarterfinals of the Pipe Invitational trial ahead of the Billabong Pipe Masters on Dec. 9, 2019, in Oahu, Hawaii.
However, his illness did not prevent him from succeeding in sports and he practiced both surfing and skateboarding. He won the Junior World Surfing title in Panama in 2012, in the Under-16 category, while competing for the first places in the main skate circuits. “He was surfing when he apparently suffered some kind of epileptic seizure and drowned,” the entity said in a message to The Associated Press. “The death is still under investigation.”
“Oh friend, I love you Kalani! Only God knows his times. Life is not easy. Always fighting. Always learning,” he said.
