U.S surfer Kurt Van Dyke found dead in Costa Rica, authorities report


U.S. surfer Kurt Van Dyke was found murdered Saturday in Costa Rica, local authorities reported. Police responded around 10:50 a.m. to a call about an armed break-in at an apartment in Cahuita, Limon, a coastal province roughly 100 miles east of San Jose. Van Dyke, 66, was discovered under a bed with a sheet over his face, having been strangled and stabbed multiple times.

A woman present during the attack survived and was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. Authorities said two suspects are believed to have carried out the break-in and stolen Van Dyke’s Hyundai Elantra as they fled. No arrests have been made, and police are reviewing CCTV footage to aid the investigation. Van Dyke, originally from Santa Cruz, California, had been a longtime resident of Costa Rica and was recognized as a pioneer in Northern California surfing. He was well known in the local surfing community, though further details about the circumstances of his death have not yet been released.
