Just belatedly heard of the passing of Walt Margetts, one of the early surf crew up here and a guy I got to meet a couple of times when he came out to JR when I lived there.
Here’s a link to his obituary and I would urge you to take a look at what a full life can be by taking a minute to read it.
He was active in the original surf club here on VanIsle and served as President of it back in the day. I recall him as a stoked individual and he’ll always be remembered by the old crew here.
R.I.P. Walt. May you ride Waimea forever.
Take care.
