Thousands of anonymous surfers have paddled out in honor of surf legend and wetsuit pioneer Jack O’Neill, in Santa Cruz, California. He was a visionary and one of the dearest symbols of surfing. Jack O’Neill, the father of the modern wetsuit, died at 94, but his legacy will inspire future generations. On July 9, 2017, around 2,500 surfers paddled out at Pleasure Point, California, to pay tribute to the bearded surf pirate.
