The Coast Guard has suspended its search for a missing kayaker off the coast of Vilano Beach, but a group of family and friends will be back out first thing Christmas morning, looking for their loved one. 46-year-old Eiffel Gilyana disappeared Saturday morning while kayaking near the St. Augustine Inlet. The Coast Guard spent two days and all of last night searching 350 square miles, but unfortunately didn’t find any sign of Gilyana. They suspended their search at sunset Sunday. “You have no idea the smile he would get on his face whenever he would get in his canoe, then try to catch a wave with it," said Task Force Hydro1 Co-founder Leo Yui. Yui met Eiffel Gilyana through his work with Task Force Hydro 1 – a group that addresses mental health and emotional healing for veterans and active duty members through water sports. Gilyana serves as the group’s fitness advisor, making sure everyone is conditioned to handle the water.
