The Real<br />
McCoy<br />
Just as we were going to print with this edition,<br />
we heard news of the passing of Geoff McCoy.<br />
I had the great pleasure of meeting and interviewing this legend of<br />
the surf industry back in 2012. What an unbelievable opportunity<br />
that was. Thankfully, through the years, I got to catch up with Geoff<br />
on more than a few occasions. If truth be told, on nearly every<br />
distribution run we would catch up for a few hours and talk all things<br />
surfing. Geoff was so gracious with his time. I particularly liked how<br />
he called it like it was. There was no bullsh*t whatsoever or beating<br />
around the bush with Geoff. You knew where he stood on all<br />
matter of issues. I had complete admiration for his<br />
achievements and the man I got to know.<br />
RIP Geoff.<br />
