Elio was a 13 year old surfing champion and was said to be one of the sports most promising up and coming stars.
Elio was surfing along with seven others off the coast of Reunion in the Indian Ocean. The group was surfing in an unapproved area.
Just as Elio prepared to mount his board to surf a wave, a shark attacked, causing fatal injuries to his midsection.
