Serra is reportedly one of the best surfers in the area, and his actions were something familiar amongst other surfers. He had been on the beach to have fun with the dangerous waves, but it, unfortunately, took a tragic turn.
It was also revealed that the Mexico coastline had been faced with massive waves since the end of June 2021. Individuals who considered themselves capable and experienced surfers have been sweeping into the area to test their abilities.
MOURNING SERRA
After the accident, Serra's partner, Aynara Aymat, reportedly paid tribute with a touching clip on her Instagram page. Serra's loved ones gathered to honor him with a memorial organized by the local surfing community with flowers and tears.
A speech was also given in a native language on the clip posted about two days ago. The update came with a touching epistle, and several viewers flooded the comments section with heart emojis and condolences.
Serra's colleagues also shared notes of the conversation they had with the deceased surfer. A fellow surfer, Miguel Castrillon, reminisced on the last experience he had with Serra and how they had planned to surf together.
Writing about how it was still impossible to accept Serra's sudden death, another friend noted that the surfer had been highly excited about surfing in the big waves.
ANOTHER TRAGIC LOSS
Serra is not the only surfer whose life has been claimed by dangerous water waves. Aaron Hirschhorn, an entrepreneur known for his successful startup focused on stem cell therapy for pets, also died in a surfboard accident in Florida.
Reports showed that the Gallant founder rode a motorized surfboard along Biscayne Bay when colliding with a boat. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Following his death, his wife, Karine Nissim, shared a post in his honor.
Before the tragic event, Hirschhorn won $500,000 investments from Lori Greiner and Anne Wojcicki after his appearance on the famous TV series "Shark Tank" in 2019.
