Car accident kills popular surfer Moncada

The Volcom-branded surfer, regularly seen at Puerto Escondido (Mexico), his favorite wave, died in a car accident in which the lives of 3 others were also lost, other locals of this wonderful area.

Oscar Moncada was only 34 years old, he was a fan of sushi, fish tacos and ceviche. He preferred to paddle out to the 5-metre waves in Puerto Escondido and loved to travel around the world - from Europe to Hawaii - in search of surfing adventures. This year he had been ninth in the Puerto Escondido Challenge of the WSL Big Wave Tour.

In the Volcom video above, from the Strange Brains series, you can see Moncada in action, in between the big waves. RIP Oscar.
