The CDC released their report from the BSR Cable Park following the tragic death of New Jersey surfer Fabrizio Stabile, who was exposed to a brain-eating amoeba. The report states that although the amoeba wasn’t detected in their tests, “Epidemiologic and environmental assessment indicates that exposure likely occurred at this facility.” According to a statement from BSR, they will be installing a new filtration system before they reopen the wave pool in March.
