CV was a wonderful and kind man. I had the pleasure of surfing and working with him at the shops in MD. He mentored me in many ways and I feel privileged to have known him and was graced by his friendship. My heartfelt condolences to all his family. Wishing you warm waves and offshore breezes always my friend. We’ll miss you.
