Gilhool appeared to have been riding down the face of a wave while the other man was surfing in the water below, witnesses told the
Ventura County Star. The fin of Gilhool s board apparently cut the other rider s head and hit his nose, and Gilhool went into the water.
Medina said a bystander who happened to be a nurse performed CPR on Gilhool until paramedics arrived, and he was transported to Community Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, the
Times reported.
The other surfer involved in the accident reportedly drove himself to the hospital.
