What happened to Kalani David?

The former finalist for Stab High tragically away after having a seizure in Costa Rica. Kalani David, a Hawaiian surf and skate phenom, passed away today while surfing in Costa Rica due to a seizure. He was 24.

In Costa Rica, where he’d reconciled with his family, Kalani reportedly died after “a big seizure while surfing,” according to photographer Peter King, a close friend, and longstanding supporter of Kalani.

Kalani’s health problem

Kalani David can now say he has had successful open-heart surgery at only 19 years old. Not many people can claim that.

As talented a skater as he is a surfer, the young Hawaiian-born David suffers from Wolf-Parkinson White Syndrome and required open-heart surgery recently to finally remove the extra muscle that had grown on his heart and was causing him to have life-threatening seizures.

Wolf Parkinson White Syndrome, which causes “an additional electrical route in the heart (that) can contribute to episodes of fast heart rate,” was one among Kalani’s many health problems. Six years prior, he detailed this condition to Stab. While he was skating in Oceanside in 2016, it almost cost him his life.

David’s open heart surgery

David had a severe seizure in August while ice skating in Prince Park in Oceanside, California. David has experienced frequent hospitalizations and ongoing seizures ever since, making for a difficult road. 

However, following a terrifying 6-hour seizure in the middle of the night in his Oahu home just before Christmas, his condition significantly worsened.

A friend eventually discovered David seizing, and he was immediately taken to a nearby hospital. He was then placed into a two-day medically induced coma. 

Doctors concluded that David urgently required open-heart surgery to address the issue following a battery of tests over a previous couple of weeks.

That’s really sad. It was an ongoing issue for him for a number of years. The story below is from five years ago. Kalani was one of the top young talents from the youth surfing scene in that age group along with Griffin Colopinto and Kanoa Igarashi. Same age as my oldest. Prayers for his parents. :(
