The missing wedding guest who died in a horrific shark attack has been identified by the community as Felix Louis N'jai - a beloved kite-surfing coach.

The US Coast Guard suspended their 22-hour-search on Monday for the missing guest at a wedding in Point Reyes, California.

The Coast Guard had received reports that a 52-year-old man was dragged into the water by a shark around 10.40am Sunday off the coast of Wildcat Beach in Point Reyes.

The 52-year-old victim has now been identified as Felix Louis N'jai - who was described by friends as a 'true unicorn of a human.'

Felix's friend Inanc Ino said: 'An Amazing Gambian American kind, gentle, loving waterman, kiter, winger, foiler, one of the most beautiful racers to watch on St Francis Races, has stepped in to realm of Beauty yesterday while celebrating life in the Pacific Ocean martyred by a unprovoked shark attack.'

The kiteboarding community - who have been rocked by Felix's death - said the victim of the shark attack was 'equipped with a spontaneous smile and positive attitude'

Felix was a well-respected kitefoiler who came to the US from Gambia a few decades ago, according to Pressure-Drop.us.

The kiteboarding community - who have been rocked by Felix's death - said the victim of the shark attack was 'equipped with a spontaneous smile and positive attitude.'

Felix had worked at Crissy Field Yacht Club in San Francisco, where he was adored by the people he coached and his coworkers.

Fellow coach Gebi Kites shared a tribute to Felix on Facebook that said he was 'one of those humans, a highly realized soul, who exuded love, passion, beauty, grace, stoke, generosity, childlike exuberance with every breath.'

He was described by others as 'the life of the party' and someone who became a 'beacon of light' when at the beach or other celebrations.

A visitor of Hood River who knew Felix said: 'He remembered us, our names and other details from the start. Always had a smile, great laugh and perpetual exuberance. He was a piece of returning to HR we always looked forward to.

'We love Felix, and will miss him, our experience is duplicated by pretty much all he had contact with.'

There have been 210 shark attacks and incidents off the California coast since 1950, according to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife

An advisory from  the National Park Service said: 'The U.S. Coast Guard suspended its search in the frigid waters this morning, but a ground search is being conducted by first responders from the NPS, the Marin County Sheriff's Office and the Marin County Fire Department, and the Stinson Beach Fire Department.'

There have been 210 shark attacks and incidents off the California coast since 1950, according to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.

Only 15 of them have been fatal. None of these deadly attacks happened in Marin County.

'We didn't find the individual so there's no way for us to confirm whether or not it was a shark attack,' U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer Hunter Schnabel said.

However, two other swimmers told first responders that they spotted a large pool of blood in the water and other witnesses said the victim was screaming.

Samantha Edell told The San Francisco Standard that her son said he heard shrieking coming from the water.

Felix was part of a group that was said to have attended a wedding and camped out in a remote area afterwards

A woman in the group told Edell they had just attended a wedding and had gone backpacking after the event.

'It was a large party,' Edell said. 'People came in from all over, as far as Europe.'

The three swimmers were camping with around 15 others at an area near the beach, which was a six to seven mile hike from the main trail.

'In my time here, we haven't heard of anything like this happening,' said Fiona Ulrich, an employee of the nearby Five Brooks Horse Ranch.

'There were many more park rangers than normal, flashing lights, a certain degree of chaos all day long.'

Christine Beekman, the public information officer at Point Reyes National Seashore, said jet skis were originally deployed from the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and Stenson Beach Fire Department.
