Legend. Sympathy for the family. Many fond memories.

So if you are a surfer I wish you the prosperity that allows you more time to pursue the salt water dream, and the true happiness that comes from warm water, clean waves and the companionship of your fellow surfers. If you are an internet troll just spewing bs then f off.

I had an O Hare board in the 7th grade....

RIP...

He shaped my uncle a custom board(for free!) after he returned from Vietnam with some badarse airbrush, sad to hear

I spent as many weekends as a teen at Pat and Sean's at 12th Street as I did at my own house. Pat was as good to me, an even cooler than my own Father, who was also one of his oldest and best friends and had been riding Pat's boards since a teen in 64'!! Truly A Great Man & Extremely Missed!! God Bless Sean, Kelly, his Grandchildren, as well as his myriad of friends and admirers World Wide!!!

He was the first "shaper" I ever saw. Went to his shop soon after he went solo after James left.

My condolences to his family and Freinds.

He can now join Velzy, Takayama, Hobie , Catri, and a bunch of others. Talking story, working on design. Working on the purest cleanest white foam.  The place where the Skil 100 planer blades are always shape. The hum of the planer is music.

There is a set building on that outside reef the one just over the Horizon.
