A 97-YEAR-OLD expat has gone out in a blaze of glory after dying while surfing.
The unnamed man, from Switzerland, drowned shortly after entering the sea at Alcazaba beach in Estepona on Sunday afternoon.
Eyewitnesses reported seeing the man heading into the waves with a surfboard, before spotting his lifeless body floating in the water just minutes later.
The authorities are yet to release further details about the identity of the man.
RIP to this dude! 97 years old! Thoughts go out to all his family
Not many get the chance or have the strength of mind to do what he did – chapeaux.
I give him credit for perseverance – didn’t know Estepona HAD waves. But he’s one of the fortunate few who passed away doing what he loved! RIP
