True soul surfer and my long-time surf buddy.
Sadly, Pete passed away on Christmas Day. He was a pier regular and sometimes a regulator. We also shared many fun sessions along PAFB beaks. I've missed seeing him in the lineup these past several months and did not know he was ill. But, that's the way Pete wanted it. He never wanted to be a bother.

Shared many a fun session with Pete trading off right bowls over the years. Sad to hear. Please post if a paddle out is organized |

Pete was a great guy! Classic as it gets. I've been wondering where he has been. I heard the news a few days ago. Sad to say the least. I'm going to miss seeing him! |

So sorry to hear this news. Hadn't seen Pete in several years, but surfed many a session with him and Jane back in the day at our local N Sat Beach break. Always used to think he was a bit of grump towards me until I got to know him and learned otherwise...he was just a bit hard of hearing! I do know that he was always stoked on surfing. RIP Pete! My thoughts and prayers go out to his loved ones and friends... ------------------------- Surfing is my passion...obsesssion... addiction! Can't imagine life without it! |

Bummer. He was a surf rat. Always out.
Didn't he make his own boards also? Rest In Peace |

We did many sessions with Pete there at Perks, he was always on it. I always thought of him as a true true surfer. Pete had his old van, made many of his own boards, and never missed a good day. He really was living the life and I'm glad I got to know him and share so many good days of surf. RIP Pete. |

Bummer. He was a surf rat. Always out. Didn't he make his own boards also? Rest In Peace Man, Pete and Jane were the first neighbors I met when I first moved into my house in Sat Beach 15yrs ago. Pete was always trying to encourage me to surf floatier boards and then one day, he called me into his garage and gave me one of his older retro fishes that he shaped (9 South Surfboards?) and from that point on, I discovered the joy of riding a fun shape in small glassy surf. I know he was quite the vocal one at contests and sometimes in the line-up, when it would get crowded at Perkins, but he was a pleasure to talk to if you took to time to know him. Full of surfing knowledge... RIP Pete. ------------------------- |

I was schooled and harassed at Perkins when it was Perkins by Pete :>. Once I got to know Pete he was a great soul and very fun to share the waves and stories with. I will miss him and the light he brought to the lineup. Rest in peace.

Way before it was N Sat Bch it was the Islander Hut, CB (aka Slater Way).
Great guy, always fun to surf with. He used to keep me posted on how Jason doing. Lost touch and regrettably had not surfed with him since 2007. RIP Pete. |

My condolences to his family and friends. He and I had some pretty good conversations wit and we shared a ton of waves. I thought of him often over the past few years, He'll be missed! If we do go to better place its gotta be with good waves and warm water, surf on Bud! Aloha and Mahalo!! Aloha Bob

Pete was a cool dude with a cool van. I remember him surfiing with me all day one time at Perkins and him telling me how pissed his wife was going to be because he promised her he was going to do a bunch of house work, but he couldn't make himself get out of the ocean. LOL. |
