Some fun waves, lots of rain and fog. Because this blog was beginning to look more like an obituary page.

Mike Doyle 1941-2019, towering figure in an age of giants.

Regularfooter from Leucadia, California; runner-up in the 1964 World Championships; a top paddleboard racer, tandem rider, and big-wave rider, and arguably the 1960s' best all-around surfer. "Everybody wanted to be like Mike Doyle," 1966 East Coast champion Gary Propper said. "He had style. Everyone wanted to surf like him, look like him, dress like him."
-Matt Warshaw The Encyclopedia of Surfing

There was a nice writeup in Surfer magazine.
