My son - my surfing buddy - passed away at 25 yesterday

Like many here I surf with my son. He is much better than me! The idea of not surfing with him is impossible to contemplate. When he went away to College the water seemed somehow empty and lacking in spirit. What you suffer is beyond our understanding but the pain is palpable. May you and your son go with your Gods, we will be thinking of you every time we paddle out.

I also have tears in my eyes reading this...I've 3 young children and all is good but just cant comprehend your loss. I also have a friend with a 4 year old daughter who has just undergone brain surgery to remove a tumor...equally there I have tears in my eyes just thinking. It's actually a very good leveller to know that none of us are alone in our thoughts and trials.

All of this helps me.

It's not just about making surfboards

Cheers

Rich
