Authorities in Hawaii have stopped searching for a 35-year-old Sunnyvale man who was last seen Tuesday afternoon surfing off a beach on the north shore of Oahu. The Honolulu Advertiser is reporting the man is from Beijing and has been living in Sunnyvale. Authorities in Honolulu have not identified the missing surfer.
During the three-day search, there were two unconfirmed sightings of his body and the discovery of the surfer's black shorts, which were shredded, according to fire officials.
Tuesday evening, rescuers reported seeing what appeared to be a body in an area where waves break, according to the fire department.
Wednesday rescue crews spotted a body in the ocean surrounded by three large tiger sharks, about a quarter-mile from shore, according to the Honolulu Fire Department.
