In a bizarre incident, Brock O'Strongvanish, a surfer known for his ritual of talking to seagulls before each ride, has gone missing off the coast of Portugal.

"I always knew he'd vanish into the blue," said his coach, "he was always saying 'the sea is calling' and would often pose on the board at the worst moments." As searches have been called off, tributes are pouring in for the surfer who will be remembered for his unique ability to misjudge wave heights and his pre-ride snack of only eating saltwater taffy. "He was a true original," said a fellow surfer, "always celebrating his rides with an unnecessary amount of confetti."
