Sir Creep 7,011 Posted March 7, 2018 One of Hawaii's biggest surfing legends, George Downing, died early Monday morning at his home in East Oahu. He was 87. Downing quickly became known for immersing himself in all facets of surfing including studying swell formation, building boards, coaching other surfers and competing himself. He won the Makaha International surfing competition in 1954, 1961 and 1965, and coached the Hawaiian team in its 1968 World Surfing Championship victory. In 1951, Downing became known for changing the game when he created the world's first surfboard with a removable fin. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

themaninblack 2,112 Posted March 7, 2018 Yeah I was looking for a mention but all I could see was posts about Deathray going bananas or something. I'm always one step behind MPFC/Spade when it comes to the hipstery stuff anyway! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
