Jay J Adams.A life long friend of Gary and I and one of my biggest influences in life,not just in skateboarding and surfing,but an influence in character and lifestyle. Right now I still feel emotionally shocked. I know Im not the only one ,I feel like I lost a family member,a brother,I did,we all did.I truly believe Jay Adams is the Father of Modern Skateboarding,especially to the youth,but he was a true Brother to you and me. Thats why we all will feel this one for a long time.When guys like Marvin and David Kalani Foster,Fielding Benson, Jasper Warren, Gary and I first met Jay back in the 70s,everyone wanted to hang out at Jays house when he and his Mom,Laney, came to live on the NS,Jay had the most attractive personality I had ever seen.Go surf with Jay,skate with Jay,hang out with Jay why? because he was the coolest guy to do the things you love best with.Jay had struggles later on ,but he always knew he could do better and thats all he ever wanted to do is better himself. Thats admirable and whats even more admirable is just minutes ago,he still had that attractive personality,that amazing aura ,the way he was in this pic,Thats Jay Adams,innovator,inventor,inspirer of the Airial that influenced every board sport to Moto cross and BMX. Now you see how?, the part where I said he Is the Father, Jay Boy Adams spirit and legacy will live on. RIP my Brother.
