Kalani David is a Hawaiian surfer. The 24-year-old had a condition called Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and passed away after a seizure in the water.
His mother, Maureen was just 16 years when she had Kalani, seeded when his father, David was living in Central America.
Kalani David’s battle with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome was a long one. In August 2016, he had a seizure while skating at a park in Oceanside, California.
His condition worsened after that, and just before Christmas of the same year, he suffered a six-hour seizure that nearly took his life while at home on Oahu.
At 14 years old, Kalani was a skating prodigy, finding himself ranked above Bob Burnquist and BeckyLasek on the Dew Tour’s Bowl series.
