Lifeguard got fatally killed yesterday surfing goat island, even beauty has its dangers. RIP!
Turns out that is my cousin’s son. I hadn’t watched the news for some time. Just found out from my mother this morning. Sad news for sure.

Goat island..epic spot to find glass balls, walk the reef at low tides to catch urchins, small menpachi stuck in tide pools etc...

The large white ball off the island is the ledge.....water gets DEEP fast vs the 10-30ft the entire way to that point. Water is always small kine murky because of rain and shore break keeping the sand and dirt churned up....

There is EPIC tako and Kala diving there....except its known tiger shark ground...wild that there was an attack in that spot as they usually just cruise on by.

Sad to see such a well known waterman loose his life, may he rest peacefully.

Beautiful pictures and thanks for sharing. We are hoping to get back to Maui one of these days. We want to go see many of the things we missed during our first time there.
