Floridian Legend Gary Propper

Although this is not new news, Gary Propper's passing can't go unmentioned. He had style, smarts, and class - and was an East Coaster.

After Propper's surf career ended, he went on to become a popular entertainment promoter in the '70s and eventually a manager for comedians. He also, in the early '90s, earned the rights to the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" comic book characters.

There's a nice writeup on the Surfer Magazine website.
