I see the article mentions that he did have a Garmin, so they should be able to deduce a fair amount about what happened eg whether he fell off at sea or tried to come in through the surf.

Interesting to know specifics...
Type of PFD?
Leg leash?
Paddle leash?
Flare/s?

Kind of 'elephant in the room' stuff & very conscious of sensitivity.

Tragic loss... but what can we learn at least...?

The big question for any paddler... if you knew you were going to take a swim in the prevailing conditions - would you have paddled, & then tell us... what would you have made sure you had with you &/or done in advance??
