In memory of John Severson, the founder of Surfer magazine —
"Freeze-frame surfer, and as a live Hendrix 'E Z Rider' blares
over the soundtrack, the surfer lifts his arms and rises like Christ
into the sky."
— Rolling Stone , August 5, 1971, on the film Rainbow Bridge
Severson reportedly died on Friday, May 26, 2017.
For a rather different sort of surfing, see this journal on that date.
