The World Surf League put out a statement, saying their prayers were ‘with him and his loved ones at this deeply challenging time.’

Surf legend Kelly Slater posted a heartbreaking plea to Instagram following the shock news.

‘I love you, brother. I just can’t even fathom you not here. 

‘We’ve got so much more living to do before we are done. There’s been hard times but there have been so many good ones, too. Just praying you wake up and we get more of you.’ 

Only the day before the incident, Garcia praised his life in a post made to the social media site.

‘If I told this kid the things he would go through and things he would achieve he would tell me I’m crazy lol,’ the post read alongside a photo of himself as a younger boy.
