Founder of the Santa Cruz Surf Kayak Festival Passed

Paddlers' Place

Rather than how folks died, I am increasingly more interested in from how they lived. I was so glad to have attended and competed in three Surf Kayak comps at Santa Cruz, in the novice plastic, surf kayak and then waveski divisions (and meeting some of the west coast PNetters). What a stoke each and every time. I can still picture Judson. Dude was a a character… :slight_smile:

Joie de vivre
and infectious stoke,
may we carry on gifted blessings,
from crossed paths with fine folk.

If you’re gonna get a ton of stampeding water slapped in your face, he seems like the right kind of guy to help you cough up some laughter along with a bucket of brine. Thanks for the share. Surf on into the surreal perhaps, Mr. Dennis.
