Legendary Jacksonville Beach surfer remembered after death

[@francus7227]

One of the top three surfers to influence my surfing growing up.... In 1978, my friend and I rode our bicycles to The Poles from Atl. Bch. I saw Joe do something I had never seen before. Joe's cuttback went out onto the flats, over the back of the wave, and then rode back onto wave. Goodbye, my friend.

Sorry to hear this, First Coasters and Roland family. He sounds like the kind of human who goes straight to heaven. Take some comfort in that while you miss him.

Rest in peace. 😢💔

Rest in peace. He's bringing his gears to heaven with him. To be honest, that's one of my last wishes on earth: Doing what I loved.
