Bud "Barracuda" Browne, the originator and king of the commercial surf movie passed away in California at age 96 today. Browne — for you non-surfers — filmed Cat on a Hot Foam Board, among many other surf films, that we all jammed into school auditoriums and VFW halls to hoot and holler at ... generally annoying the shit out of the non-surfers in the area. Browne set the stage for Bruce Brown of The Endless Summer fame and those that followed him.
HERE'S the full obit/story.
Thanks to Chris K for the heads up.
