    Not a surfer and I never heard of him before but he seems like he was a really cool cat. I dug the video, thanks. RIP.

    RIP to a legend. I never met him but my grandfather and uncles knew him well from back in the day in Hawaii. Used to skindive with my Uncle. I think I'm gonna say fuck it to work this morning.

    Loved that movie.

    RIP to an athlete/entrepreneur who paved the way for other action sports for years to come. Guy had balls of steel combined with a keen sense for business.
