Authorities were going to resume the search at first light today at Wharton Beach which
00:07
is about an hour's drive east of where I am here in Esperance.
00:11
The incident occurred just after lunchtime yesterday and all afternoon police and marine
00:17
crews were looking for the man but unfortunately there's been no sign of the missing surfer.
00:23
And what do we know about the surfer?
00:29
Well the man's identity is yet to be confirmed by police but what we do know is that his
00:34
brother spoke to ABC Perth earlier this morning.
00:37
He didn't want his name put out there but his brother said that the man was visiting
00:41
the region from Melbourne with his partner.
00:44
They'd been driving across Australia in their van.
00:47
He was an avid surfer and sadly the brother did say that they're not expecting to find
00:54
the man at this stage unfortunately.
