I can say with conviction to the world, if you don't know who Jay Adams was, your life is poorer than mine. He's left the planet for the astral waves now and I'd be a lot sadder if I wasn't still laughing and marveling at the pure spontaneity of every single moment he lived, filled with stoke and joy, and ripping on his board, and flying a big "fuck you" to anything that reeked of bullshit. I've seen every photo I could ever get my hands on of Jay, it became an absolute necessity to my life at a very early age - they are like old friends by now - but I had not seen his Skatopia card. That's the perfect parting shot. Tears in my eyes as I grab my board this morning to go get some waves, but I'm going anyway. Wouldn't be the first time I've puked or cried in the line up. It'll be laughs and cervesas, amigos and olas by the time the wind shifts anyway. I'd say when is the paddle-out, but every day is a paddle out for Jay. kenter canyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12210338200602867878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3311142607743131364.post-32672800975012399412014-08-16T10:56:08.391-04:002014-08-16T10:56:08.391-04:00No less an authority that Mark Foo said, "It&...No less an authority that Mark Foo said, "It's no tragedy to die doing what you love," but in Jay's case we mourn for the time he'd lost,and for his family and friends who were deprived of his company too soon, and for too long. Style setter Phil Edwards said, "the best surfer is the one out there having the most fun," and no one every in the history of skating will express more joy, abandon and spontaneity than Jayboy did on a board. Every kid in the whole world who rides onto coping with gritted teeth, style and an attitude is riding in your wake. All I can say is thanks for EVERYTHING, Jay Adams. (and thank you too Glen for shining a light on us all - our lives were forever changed by seeing your photos of Jay and his friends. I got a year's worth of stoke from every shot of Jay, I swear it.) kenter canyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12210338200602867878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3311142607743131364.post-91885042926915278862014-08-16T09:10:58.184-04:002014-08-16T09:10:58.184-04:00Wow.
