Big wave surfer and fly fisherman extrordinair Fred passed away at the age of 86. He wrote an autobiography that I read recently titled "Once Upon Abundance". I enjoyed it as it was much more than just surfing. He was one of the original big wave surfers and if you look at the video at the bottom of the link it has him surfing on longboard on big waves. http://encyclopediaofsurfing.com/eos-blog/fred-van-dyke-1929-2015/

I met someone threw work who knew him and advised me to read the autobiography. He was a real character whose life in small parts paralleled mine.
