An internationally known professional surfer from Tahiti died yesterday morning after he wiped out on a wave at the popular Banzai Pipeline surf spot on the North Shore.
Malik Joyeux, 25, has been featured on the covers of surfing magazines and on posters.
Bodo Van Der Leeden, lifeguard captain on the North Shore, said Joyeux was one of dozens of surfers riding 6- to 10-foot waves yesterday. He said Joyeux had taken off on a wave at about 10 a.m. when the lip came over him and "hit him square on."
