A Hobart man died while surfing at Greens Beach yesterday afternoon, the day before he was due to leave for a job in Western Australia.
A HOBART surfer who took a farewell surf with a local mate yesterday failed to make it out of the water.
The 30-year-old had been staying with a friend in Smithton and was due to leave Tasmania for Western Australia today.
Tasmania Police said the man got into difficulty while surfing off Greens Beach at Marrawah about 5pm.
A Greens Beach resident said he had spotted the man floating face down in the water.
He and his son got the surfer out of the water and tried to revive him but to no avail.
"We live right on the beach," said the resident, who did not want to be named.
"We saw the guy face down and got him to shore to try and revive him.
"We did all we could -- what anyone would do in the situation -- but sadly it was too late."
Tasmania Police said the death was not being treated as suspicious and a report was being prepared for the Coroner.
Marrawah is renowned for its wild surf but Greens Beach is regarded as one of the safest spots to surf in the area.
