Pro surfer dies at Banzai Pipeline
Malik Joyeux walked up the beach after finishing his trials in the Rip Curl Pro Pipeline Masters at the Banzai Pipeline last Dec. 8.
More than 50 people held hands in a circle on the beach at Banzai Pipeline after the death of professional surfer Malik Joyeux of Tahiti. Joyeux failed to surface after being buried by a wave. Surfers said the 6- to 10-foot waves were "not unusually rough."
