“She, the friend, was thrown by the force of the lightening strike too, the board threw me back.
Katherine’s uncle Beto Diaz told a local media outlet his niece had gone to hug a friend she spotted at the surf spot when lightening struck. The 22-year-old rising star - who had been gunning to compete for El Salvador at the Olympics in Tokyo - was surfing at a spot called El Tunco when the lightning storm hit.
Katherine Diaz - one of El Salvador’s top surfers - died on Friday after she was hit in a lightning strike during a training session near her home.
