Kalani David, a Hawaiian-born professional surfer and skateboarder, died after he suffered a seizure while surfing off Costa Rica on Saturday, according to his father, David David.
He was 24. Kalani David was accomplished in both sports, having competed worldwide in both disciplines. His X Games profile highlights his multi-sport talents from a young age: “ Grew up surfing and skating, so he could be considered a seasoned veteran at the ripe old age of 14,” it says. As a 14-year-old, David won team gold and individual gold at the 2012 ISA World Junior Surfing Championship in Panama. His Instagram page is full of videos and pictures of him surfing, skating and fishing.
The open-heart procedure was performed to help curtail the seizures he had been experiencing, the article said. In June, David posted a picture of himself tube riding and wrote, “With these seizures I keep having my neurologist said no driving and no surfing until I stop having them. I mean I could surf but, if I was to have one and don’t get saved in time I’ll either die or become a vegetable because I don’t have enough air to my brain.
