Barbados pro surfer Zander Venezia drowned Tuesday while surfing during Hurricane Irma. The 16-year-old and a group of other surfers were at Box by Box beach when the accident happened. Witnesses say a closeout set (a wave breaking along its length all at once) caused Venezia to fall off his board and he was knocked unconscious.
"Zander was bleeding, and he wasn't moving. They tried to get him to the beach quickly, which was very difficult,' Burke said. 'Box by Box is a tough place to get in and out of, even if you have the ability. There's lots of big rocks around, and some stick out of the water," says Nathan Florence, who performed CPR on Venezia.
Venezia was expected to compete in the 2020 Olympics for Barbados.
