Am at work and still a mess. I just wanted to talk to someone.
If you go on Youtube and type 'Our Guru of Surfing' yo ucan see the doco we were filming about him.
He was an amazing guy. We miss him terribly already, but are so relieved he is no longer in pain.

Im so sorry for your loss, Aloha.
It hits close to home when ever I hear someone passing away with MS, because my mom has it.

Wow... my mate dies and it's classed as "Chit Chat"? Who knew! Do they always do that when it's posted in the General Forum? It's kind of annoying... maybe I should have put it in 'Relationships'?
Thankyou very much for your kind words Livinginchaos. May I ask how old your mum is and how she is going in her fight? I am trying to get people to support the MS Society whenever I can now.

Sorry to hear about your friend.
Scotland has one of the highest rates of MS in the world, so it's something that many people here have to face.
I hope that your friend has passed on the art of both living and dying so that those he has left will live more and be less fearful.

Thankyou. I'm so sorry I had a big rant at the poor person who moved the post, I was just hurting a lot and having an awful day.
Yeah it's such a hard disease. The funeral is tomorrow and we are having a paddle out surfers farewell for him.
Thanks so much guys.
sorry for your loss, I too had a friend with MS, unfortunatly I lost touch with virtually everyone I knew many many years ago, i can only assume ...
I'm so sorry for your loss Aloha. I really don't know what to say except I am dealing with sick close friends and it is awful and depressing.
The surfing tribute sounds like a very special way to remember your friend.
Aloha, I am so sorry for your loss. He seems to have been a person who was a real blessing on the Earth. It's a terrible shame. And so unfair. MS is a filthy thief.
