Daniel Bobis from the band Cipher went missing on Sunday morning after wiping out on a wave while surfing. According to his wife, the leash in the surf board broke as he was surfing in an area that is famous for its 12 foot waves.
The New York Daily News has reported that the body of Daniel Bobis was discovered this Thursday (July 28) by fishermen in Indonesia. Search crews in West Lampung, Sumatra, said the fishermen pulled the body of Bobis out of the water.
Bobis was the drummer for the Long Beach, New York Hardcore/Metal/Punk band Cipher. Additionaly, Bobis was a Math teacher at a Long Beach High School and also a surf team coach.
“I am truly sorry to be writing this. Last night Rachel, Bob, Lydia, and Brian received word that a body was found somewhere up the coast by fishermen. They immediately traveled together in hopes that it was a coincidence…It was not. They positively identified Danny. He is gone and now we must mourn. So please do not focus on what the media may release. In this terrible time of tragedy we must keep our energy on what Danny stood for and how we can be there for his family. We must come together and stay together. Danny you will never die in our hearts and we know your up in heaven ripping waves. I’ll see you when I get there brother… We love you.” - A Relative of Daniel Bobis
"Daniel Bobis has passed away. No further details have been provided, nor are necessary at this time. We are all deeply saddened by the loss of this amazing husband, teacher, surfer and friend to so many." - Statement by Bobis' good friend and fellow Long Island surfer Sean Persall
