A 55-year-old foreign national lost his life in a freak accident while bodysurfing at the famous Varkala beach in Kerala’s Thiruvananthapuram.
“Roy, who was from the United Kingdom, was struck by a massive wave while he was on the shore after bodysurfing,” the police said.
Bodysurfing is the sport of riding a wave without the assistance of any buoyant device such as a surfboard.
“The wave hit him from behind, causing him to hit his head on the ground. He was promptly taken to a local hospital, but could not be saved,” the police said.
