Bump to the top. Art was a giving, caring guy and to have this piece of shit person take him away from us.. she can burn in hell forever as this is how she left this portal.. R.I.P. Art...

It's not where you've gone that's important....
The value is derived from the Journey.

We have submitted an application to have a police car on hand so everyone can cross A1A with safety. Paradice Beach may be to crowded.

I did not know him personally, but being a fellow surfer and living in the neighborhood I will show my respect and be there.

Will be there havent seen a picture of him yet but certain in the last 30 years Ive surfed with this gentleman.

In loving memory of my brother Lance, Duncan Currie, BVD, Bruce Dygert and AG.

Art Stroud - Not the best picture but the best guy.  You influenced many lives and showed how a true gentleman is in and out of the water.  I hope the person who sent me this pic does not mind I used it. 

R.I.P. Art

If anyone else has pics of Art, the surfing community would really appreciate the contributions.

It is with heavy heart that I learned of the fiery accident on A1A Saturday(noon) involved Art Stroud(a long time surfer friend). Art was apparently coming in from surfing or checking the waves and was taken out(killed) by this moronic person that should have never been driving in the first place. Art was returning to his van that he always parked at St. Marks church.

Art was a few years older than most of us, and not a close member of the tribe(as it was/is) but was a true lover of the ocean and surfing. Johnny-boy, Art, Pat, myself(and a few others) would always talk with each other in the line-up while swapping waves and then of course later while taking a break on the beach. We would swap stories of our latest trips whether it be Costa, Mexico, Hawaii, South Pacific, Indo........where ever.

Art never aspired to be anything more than just a very decent human being and lover of life. He did not deserve to die in this horrible manner and I am very saddened and sick to my stomach to hear about this.

I last saw him a couple of weeks ago while out surfing and of course he had the usual smile on his face. He was a soul surfer, old school style(very fluid), laid back, mellow, and still rode a short board at 60 years of age.

Art, I will miss you and thank you for never looking down on me when I was just a grom.

Rest In Peace Art Stroud, we will miss you, and God's Speed.

I didn't know him, but such a sad story for a guy doing what we do or like to do every day of our lives.
Obituary for Art

heading up on my bike now.

awesome and inspiring paddle out today.

It really was Matt.

Thanks for all you did as well.

Too bad the bouy thing didn't work out, but it didn't matter.

FYI...........I was the lifeguard whilst you and Pat were on the mission.

More pics on that FB link above, but Matt got some of........if not the best ones.

I have a few pics.  Here are my two favorites.
