A windsurfer was found dead in the open ocean today about 2 1/2 miles west of the Golden Gate Bridge, authorities said.The unidentified man matched the description, given by a friend, of someone who had been windsurfing east of the bridge earlier in the day, said U.S. Coast Guard Lt. Junior Grade Jeremy Pichette. His body was found about two hours after a pedestrian on the bridge reported about 4:30 p.m. seeing an unmanned surfboard in the water, Pichette said.
The Coast Guard, along with authorities from San Francisco, Marin County and the National Park Service joined in searching for the missing man.
