The kitesurfing community – which has been shocked by Felix’s death – said the shark attack victim was ‘equipped with a spontaneous smile and a positive attitude’

Felix was a respected kitefoiler who came to the US from Gambia a few decades ago, according to Pressure-Drop.us.

The kitesurfing community – which has been shocked by Felix’s death – said the shark attack victim was ‘equipped with a spontaneous smile and a positive attitude’.

Felix had worked at the Crissy Field Yacht Club in San Francisco, where he was adored by the people he coached and his colleagues.

Fellow coach Gebi Kites shared a tribute to Felix on Facebook saying that he ‘one of those people, a very realized soul, who radiated love, passion, beauty, grace, enthusiasm, generosity and childlike exuberance with every breath.”

He was described by others as ‘the life of the party’ and someone who became a ‘beacon of light’ on the beach or at other parties.

A visitor to Hood River who knew Felix said, “He remembered us, our names and other details from the beginning. Always had a smile, a great laugh and a constant exuberance. He was a return to HR that we always looked forward to.

‘We love Felix and will miss him. Our experience is echoed by virtually everyone he has interacted with.”

The 52-year-old man was reportedly dragged into the water by a shark off the coast of Wildcat Beach in Marin County

According to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, there have been 210 shark attacks and incidents off the California coast since 1950.

An advisory from the National Park Service said: “The U.S. Coast Guard has suspended its search of the frigid waters this morning, but a ground search is being conducted by first responders from the NPS, the Marin County Sheriff’s Office and the Marin County Fire Department. and the Stinson Beach Fire Department.”

According to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, there have been 210 shark attacks and incidents off the California coast since 1950.

Only 15 of them were fatal. None of these fatal attacks occurred in Marin County.

“We haven’t found the person, so we can’t confirm if it was a shark attack or not,” said U.S. Coast Guard Chief Petty Officer Hunter Schnabel.

However, two other swimmers told first responders they saw a large pool of blood in the water and other witnesses said the victim was screaming.

Samantha Edell told it The San Francisco Standard that her son said he heard screams coming from the water.

Felix was part of a group that had reportedly attended a wedding and then camped in a remote area

A woman in the group told Edell that they had just attended a wedding and had gone backpacking after the event.

“It was a big celebration,” Edell said. ‘People came from all over, as far away as Europe.’

The three swimmers camped with about 15 others in an area near the beach, a six- to seven-mile hike from the main trail.

“In my time here, we’ve never heard of anything like this happening,” said Fiona Ulrich, an employee at the nearby Five Brooks Horse Ranch.

‘There were many more park rangers than normal, flashing lights, a certain chaos all day long.’

Christine Beekman, the public information officer at Point Reyes National Seashore, said jet skis were originally deployed from the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and the Stenson Beach Fire Department.
