Ryan Teasdale was last seen riding a bodyboard with about 20 other people during a torrential downpour in Riley Park, Unanderra on Thursday afternoon.
His body was found after 11am on Friday at a creek bed at the end of a stormwater drain after emergency services spent the morning searching frantically.
