Meeting the surfer who drowned at Montara Beach

A reader has posted an eerie account of his encounter with the surfer who drowned at Montara Beach, shortly before the accident, as a comment on our original story.

He was about 20 feet away when I waved to him and was going to ask him about the water and if there was undertow or dangerous currents because I was thinking about coming back sometime and going in the water.

Be sure to follow the link and read the whole account. Finding stories like this is one reason I started Coastsider.
