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.

  1. Clearly surfing is a dangerous activity and should be outlawed within the confines of the city of Encinitas.

  2. Between sharks, head injuries, and heart attacks, everyone should stay out of the water.

    Especially at my favorite spots.

  3. "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 ..."

    Sounds like she died a happy woman. We should all be so lucky.
