Brighton surf instructor Cameron Munro dies surfing on holiday in Bali

Tributes have been paid to a surfing instructor who died in what is believed to have been an accident while on holiday in Bali, Indonesia. Cameron Munro, 21, from Patcham near Brighton, is thought to have drowned last Saturday (19 March), though the precise circumstances are not yet clear and a postmortem has not yet been carried out.

Cameron taught at the Algarve surf school and camp in Portugal between March and October each year, and was a regular visitor to the tropical island of Bali. Friend Zara Mata said: "Everybody is just in shock because we were expecting him to come back. He died doing what he loved. But he was such an experienced surfer, we are all trying to figure out what happened."
