Double drowning brings warning on surfboard risk
2001
Overview
In the past few years bodyboarding has boomed, with holidaymakers attracted to a cheaper and easier, but equally exciting, version of surfing. In the latest incident, the 50-year-old and his son, 21, were trapped in a rip tide, washed out to sea and killed while the mother waited at a nearby holiday camp. The two men, who were staying at the Trevornick Holiday Park, Newquay, had gone down to Holywell Bay to bodysurf on Thursday evening. They got into trouble and drowned only minutes after lifeguards, who police the beach until 6pm, had left. Locals said the true tragedy of the accident was that the rip tide that caught the holidaymakers could easily have been escaped with the right knowledge. \"The conditions weren't treacherous. A simple tip could have saved their lives,\" said Rob Barber, the coach to Britain's bodyboarding and surfing teams.
