The National Sea Rescue Institute has confirmed that missing Bloubergstrand kite-surfer Graham Howes has been found deceased.
NSRI spokesperson, Craig Lambinon, said Howes' body was recovered at sea on Monday.
IOL reported that the 38-year-old was last seen kite-boarding offshore of Eden on the Bay in Bloubergstrand, on Sunday. Unconfirmed reports claim that rescuers have found his kite almost 10 metres from Robben Island.
"On Monday, during the search, rescue teams located Howes' kite-surf sail and kite-surf board at sea. His body was found shortly after in the search area by the crew of a local motor yacht that had also joined in the extensive search efforts.
"His body was handed over to the police and Department of Health Forensic Pathology Services," he said.
Lambinon has thanked all those who assisted in the search for Howes.
