“Woody Brown was one of the first and greatest icons in the history of surfing,” Sen. Fred Hemmings said Friday. “He was the essential surfer, an iconoclast: extremely independent, futuristic and, most especially, healthy,” said Hemmings, the 1968 world surfing champion who inaugurated the world professional surfing circuit in 1975, “which explains why he lived for 96 very productive, wonderful years. And I only hope more of us who call ourselves surfers can live the way Woody lived. Sad as anyone passing is, what a joyous life.”
Woody was as diehard as they come. We here of guys surfing all day but he literally was in the water from sunrise to sunset. When he got hungry, he would be eating seaweed- one source said.
Woody would think we are crazy wasting time talking about him when we could be doing more quality things like surfing.
