The paddle out was well attended and beautiful. I learned a lot about Buck. I only knew him for a few years and we only got close during the pandemic. What a force of nature he was. Surfers covered the lawn at Steamers Lane with Noe boards. And the paddle out was so moving. So many honored Buck, including Spencer the surfing dog.
There was a gathering at Frederick St park afterwards. I went with Yuki, who was perplexed because the dog park there is closed again. It was well catered but I had just eaten.
I met Buck’s sister and a sister in law, who was wearing a Cali Roots hat - foreshadow much?
The whole day was incredible moving, connecting with my neighbors and bearing witness to a deep surfer tradition that was powerfully moving.
