    On October 15, 2025, amidst the rolling waves of Steamer Lane, a renowned surf break in Santa Cruz, California, 21-year-old college student Isabella Orduna was wrapping up a surf session when she felt something pinch her foot.

Orduna recounted, “I was like, wow, what do I do now?”, as her board had been seized by an uninvited otter.
