Mitchell Fajman, 18, of Channahon, had been kayaking in ten foot waves with two friends.
They were wearing life jackets, wetsuits and helmets.
All three capsized in the heavy waves, inside the break wall.
Firefighters were able to rescue Fajman’s friends… but they couldn’t get to him before he slipped out of his life jacket and went under.
