Retired professional surfer Chris Brown was found dead last Saturday on a California beach and his body identified earlier this week, according to the Santa Barbara Police Department. He was 48.

Police spokesman Anthony Wagner told local media outlets that Brown's cause of death remains open, and foul play had not been ruled out.

His body was discovered below the bluffs of the Douglas Family Preserve near Arroyo Burro Beach County Park in Santa Barbara.

Brown, who worked as a commercial urchin diver at the time of his death, is best known for his teenage years when he surfed in the professional circuit as a World Tour competitor. According to Surfer Magazine, Brown won the world amateur surfing title in 1988 and the Professional Surfing Association of America (Bud Pro Tour) championship in 1994.

Legendary surfer Kelly Slater, who called Brown a close friend and rival during the sport's rise in the early 1990s, posted a tribute for Brown. 

"This guy was just such an excited, happy light in my childhood," Slater wrote, adding he and Brown were "nearly inseparable as teenagers."

same but you have more people with the same names i guess


RIP to this chris, i agree but surfing is a dangerous sport, Bethany Hamilton story for example, that girl who lost her arm in a shark attack while surfing, and now she has only gotten stronger from that, also one armed surfer, from that movie soul surfer, very emotional and inspirational also very underrated

Use his career title maybe to differentiate between the two? So 'Surfer Chris Brown' instead of 'Chris Brown'

[Samm]

I was excited for a hot minute

[Headie]

Ahhh this clickbait

[arista]

Smithy could add (the Surfer)

[Crimson Dynamo]

Its not Smithy's fault that people assume that there is only ONE Chris Brown

I entered the thread with an open mind, yes I was hoping that woman beating twat had died but i did not assume it so

and being disappointed i did not then think about attacking our poor small island dwelling friend as if it was his fault

i'm not defending him, just saying you can't wish horrible things on anyone (even those who you not like)

[Nicky91]

but back on topic, yes i think adding surfer in the title should be helpful
