What can be said about Sam’s life and his contribution to the sport we all love.. short story, A LOT. He cared, and I mean really cared about bodyboarding, always pushing to highlight our way of life to the world.

His resume of contributions were extensive, from the epic feature length movies such as Premium, Delirium, La Familia & I Try Stupid Things, the Kernow Bodyboarding Podcast and his UK magazine Lid.

In later years he led a solitary life documenting wildlife across the UK but his fire for the boog always remained. One of the most active members of the Vintage Bodyboarding group and ALWAYS ready to fight the boog corner when needed. He had our backs, always.

The word legend is thrown around a lot these days (we use it a lot) but in this case it’s 100% true. Goodbye Sam and thank you for everything, sincerely the entire community.

Memorial organised by @elrollosurfdesignsltd and the other friends that loved him dearly.
