Jay Moriarty tribute

[samcantread]

My first "real" surfboard was a jay model. Still own it today. I had just been hired at O'Neill surf shop when Jay passed. Kim was there. What a tough time for so many people. I won't ever forget it

His wife and mentor were there, and so was Gerard Butler

[WeenAndGeen]

Very nice video piece and thank you for posting it.

I knew Jay... Was in Big Stick a surf club with him for a few years. It was an honor to know and surf with him and yes he was the type of person said to be. Always a smile, always in control and doing

One Life At A Time. We still miss him.

What a tragedy. I remember when I was 16 and he was the same age in 94 and he took on mavericks in that huge swell. I envy'd him and wished one day I would charge like that.... I guess you are just born with that kind of guts...... He looks like he truely enjoyed his life.

[aussieharley1450]

to do what he did i can only wish i didnt know him but you can see from video that he lived it to the max RIP from australia

[lillyi07]

I will always remember that stack at Mavericks when he was like 16. Legend

[tadude1995]

I could tell by the video that this guy had it figured out. It's all about enjoying what you have, and you can see it in Jay's face all through out this video.

Thanks for sharing! I wish I could've met him.

[K38rescue]

Doug,

I was honoured to shoot the footage of Jay from the Maldives in this video mix.

He was such a great guy to be around in or out of the water.

I think of his loss often, and I hope my images help to keep his memory strong. Best wishes, Charlie Kinross.

[10109492]

Charlie,

It definitely helps. I wish everyone could have known Jay. He was a great surfer, but he was also so much more. I really miss him. Thanks again, and thanks for writing.

Doug
