Condolencies to the family.

I don't understand the comment about how in shallow water you couldn't get hit by your mast or boom - of course you can - and in fact if you are touching the bottom it will hit even harder because it can't push you under. Allonby may be shallow but you still can't touch the bottom in the sailing area so I really don't see what the comment means?

Jeez. Check BBC news site it was reported on 20/5/4. Said they were looking into the possibility that he died of an illness, heart attack or summit who knows. Never known of a windsurfer to die before.
