Santa Barbara local surfer dies near UCSB campus following water rescue

A Santa Barbara local surfer died from cardiac arrest following a water rescue by the Santa Barbara County Fire Department at 3:30 p.m. on Monday. 

The incident took place by the bluffs near UC Santa Barbara’s Marine Science Research Building, according to Santa Barbara County Fire Department (SBCFD) Public Information Officer Scott Safechuck. 

The death followed failed CPR efforts by a fellow surfer, who pulled the victim out of the ocean after finding him floating face-down in the water, Safechuck said. 

Fire Station 17 and County Station 11 — SBCFD’s water rescue stations — arrived after receiving a report of the incident and attempted to save the individual from cardiac arrest using advanced life support. The surfer was eventually pronounced deceased at the scene, according to Safechuck. 

SBCFD was unable to determine whether the surfer was affiliated with UCSB or the individual’s cause of death, and could not provide the decedent’s name. 

The Nexus will continue to update this article as more information becomes available.

But his family reported he was gladly fully vaxxed and boosted, else it would have been MUCH worse.

Excellent work, Mike. I admire your effort because I currently generate more than $36,000 each month from just one simple online business! I am aware that you may start earning a solid life en-10 online with as little as $29,000 and these are just basic internet operations tasks.

I’m making $90 an hour working from home. i was greatly surprised at the same time as my neighbour advised me x21 she changed into averaging $100 however I see the way it works now. I experience mass freedom now that I’m my non-public boss. Everybody must try this job now by

The significant increase in all cause mortality in the past year should be a matter of national interest. Where is the media? The NIH? FDA? Brandon? All crickets.

This “reporter’s” job is complete: no mention of jab status, no mention of correlation to plethora of other recent ‘died suddenlys’ and there will absolutely be no follow up reporting. She/they will continue it’s conscienceless existence.

A fair point, and fair sarcasm. She also ommitted his age and name, maybe on the orders of they who edit the paper. We will have to go to Mark Crispin Miller’s News from Underground substack in a week or so to learn such details. But in any case, my sincere condolences to this man’s family and friends–it is a small but real comfort that he died amid the waves he loved.

Fauci funded Gain of Function research in Wuhan beginning in 2014 when Obama issued a moratorium on the dangerous experiments. Our government is to blame for this carnage!!! The vaccines are killers!!!

Why is nothing being done about this? Where are the Republicans? My money says that some country will engage in some surreptitious extra-judicial justice. Americans are not the only people murdered by Fauci and his gang.

The solution is soooo simple.
Just force all the vaccinated surfers out of the water and face a big fine.

Always sad when a surfer passes. The ocean can be deadly even to skilled watermen. On another note, it’s pathetic and disturbing to see a troll making a dozen fake accounts to rant about bullshit vaccine conspiracies in the comment section on such an article. It’s pretty obvious that it’s just one deranged guy pretending to be a group. Wildly disrespectful. Nexus staff should moderate this kind of lunacy in the comments. RIP to the surfer and to the vaccine commenter, seek help.

Cardiac arrest is NOT a cause of death.
Most likely he suffered a fatal drowning.
