Passed away...at 77. RIP. One of the pioneers of big wave Hawaiian surfing. Fearless. I remember a little story about him...after a long flat summer, on the first big swell of the year, he took off on a Waimea giant, ran to the nose and jumped off, over the falls, on purpose. He was soo happy to be back in it, he had to do it. Here's to you, man. I think he had a good life. There's nothing like a wave.
