Second surfer death at Swami's in a week
The Coast News:
Only a few days after one local surfer was found dead while surfing at Swami’s Beach, another local surfer, a 57-year-old woman, died Monday morning surfing the same spot.
Joy Froding, a Cardiff-by-the-Sea resident, was out surfing with friends at Swami’s Beach when she suffered medical distress in the water and lost consciousness, according the Capt. Larry Giles of the Encinitas Lifeguards.
U-T:
Joy Ann Froding was sitting on her board after riding “one of the best waves of her life” when she felt a pain in her chest, friends and authorities said. She told other surfers she was with that she didn’t feel well, and then she collapsed.
Clearly surfing is a dangerous activity and should be outlawed within the confines of the city of Encinitas.
ReplyDeleteOld people surf at their own risk.
DeleteJust as we do everything else.
DeleteBetween sharks, head injuries, and heart attacks, everyone should stay out of the water.

"Joy Ann Froding was sitting on her board after riding “one of the best waves of her life” when she felt a pain in her chest ..."
ReplyDeleteSounds like she died a happy woman. We should all be so lucky.
As Joy's longtime friend, you are correct... As this is heartbreaking news, Joy passed in bliss at her true ocean sanctuary
