MP passes away due to a sudden heart attack

[Slowman]

Quite a sad day. I had surfed boards that were inspired by his designs. After reading his biography I'd always hoped some day he might be well enough again to get in the water once more. I guess now he's surfing some secret spot only he knows.

Apparently it happened at breakfast yesterday morning. Worth reading the man's biography by Sean Doherty to get an understanding of what the man went through.

Yeah a big shame. I always hoped he'd get back in the water after reading the biography too.
I started re-reading it yesterday, seemed like a good time to do it.
