Drowned surfer identified
August 9th, 2006
A surfer who went missing, while surfing at Bingin on the Bukit Peninsula, has been found in West Bali. The body of 30 year old Chin Tenh Fung, from Melbourne, was found by fishermen off of Perancak beach (location of macapung, buffalo races), and identified by his relatives.
Mr Fung was surfing in big waves at Bingin, famous for its fast, short, thrilling barrel. He was dumped by a wave and his companion never saw him again. Perancak is 100kms from Bingin and that shows how strong the currents are around here.
Very sad when a family has to identify a loved one, and hopefully that won’t happen too often in Bali.
