According to sources, at around 7:30 a.m. on January 30, Agnes went for a fishing trip. He got in touch with maritime officials to inform them that he would return late because of foggy conditions.

But his boat washed up on shore two hours later near Hossegor, which is over two miles away from the port of Capbreton. The area is known for dangerous waves that make surfing conditions ideal.

The search for Agnes is still going on, with three helicopters and two boats on the lookout after dark. Local officials said that the search would resume Wednesday morning.

Boardriders released a statement on Tuesday which read, “The Boardriders family and entire surfing world are devastated by this news. We are concentrating on working with the local authorities on the search and rescue effort and supporting Pierre’s family.”
