Murio un Surfer en California..Ghost Tree 30 pies!

SURFER DIES AT GHOST TREE Monterey local Peter Davi drowns in giant surf Longtime Monterey-area surfer Peter Davi, 45, drowned today in 30-foot-plus surf at Ghost Tree, (aka Pescadero Point) off Pebble Beach. Davi -- along with former Maverick's Contest winner Anthony Tashnick -- attempted to paddle-surf the giant waves while a dozen tow-teams caught some of the biggest surf ever seen here. While it's unclear at this point, according to reports, Davi caught a smaller wave and then his leash broke and drowned attempting to swim to shore; surfers and photographers lost sight of him until Santa Cruz surfer Anthony Ruffo spotted him face down in Stillwater Cove. Lifeguards for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Prevention attempted to resuscitate Davi for about 30 minutes before he was pronounced dead around 1:30 p.m. A cause of death has not been determined, Sheriff's deputy Scott Ragan said. Davi has been a fixture at various Monterey Bay area surf spots for decades; he's also spent time on Hawaii's North Shore, making friends with some of the locals there. Makua Rothman, who won the O'Neill World Cup of Surfing today in maxing Sunset Beach, said this about his final wave: "Unfortunately, one of my friends never made it today in California, and he just sent me that wave. So this is for bruddah Pete Davi. All you guys who don't know, he passed away today. Aloha bruddah, we love you." He leaves behind a 17-year-old son. Image
