Devastated! He was some kind of legend.

A legend passes.

Met him at the ceremony for the Lennox Surf reserve.

He was shy and friendly and very, very stoked to be there and be amongst his people.

He was accepted without judgement in his later years and embraced with all his foibles by the culture he helped create. That must have been a comfort for his mother.

He was a vulnerable genius. RIP MP.

We used to paddle in from the Pass when he came out, or watch from the side - then we would copy him. MP moved about the northern rivers like a wraith. God rest his soul.

[Hollowed out]

Those who surfed with him, against him, photographed him, interviewed him or even just saw him surf know they witnessed something that will never be repeated, just an incredible unique individual with the energy of ten men.
RIP(yep he always did)MP

[Beanpole]

RIP MP. It was a wild ride while it lasted.

[Beanpole]

The King of Kirra. Both gone now.

Heard it on the radio today.
A sad day indeed.

Not a bad piece from Dell=boy.

Shame he couldn't have been so candid about AI.

That's crap Steve. DR rehashed an article that was written many years ago and in regards to being candid about AI. You also had a vehicle to report on the matter if you so desired.

[steve shearer]

DR was the first guy to put out the dengue fever BS Jimmy.

Now read this and tell me he didn't know just a tad more than that at the time.

Reilly knew more than anyone about AI's drug problems and not only kept silent but actively propagated complete BS.
Not surprising I spose considering STAB was or is sponnoed by Bong.

Guess he's free to talk candidly about MP's drug problems though.
Funny that.

[diggerdickson]

jeez steve, I like ya mate, I really do, but please leave your better than though journalist attitude away from this thread mate, this is about a legend, not about how someone report AI, please steve take that crap to a different thread as im getting tired of it.

[steve shearer]

Sure Digger.

The hypocrisy rankles is all.
