Dear MrJack O'Neil,
I surfed in trunks and visited your 41st store often. Dreaming of a new stick and a warm suit.I saved up enough for the suit but not the taxes.Luckily you and Shawn Thompson were their.You covered the taxes,gave me some wax and a leash.I'm a flat lander 100 miles away and you made me feel welcome on the east side. Thank you and I wish I would have wrote a Thank You note in 1978. My sincere condolences to all your family and loved ones. 3 suits later and I am still warm God Bless and enjoy the swells in Heaven.
All The Best,
Michael Lang

A heart-felt salute to one of the last great American pioneers. Thank you for your innovations that have allowed me to enjoy glassy surf on cold winter mornings!

My heartfelt prayers and condolences to the family of Jack O'Neill. Psalms 90:10 shows how he lived a long life of special mightiness from God. He accomplished a lot during his lifetime to help surfers and divers. Keep his many, many, many memories close in your hearts and minds and cherish them forever. May the comfort of God be with you all during this time of grief.

Norwegian saying:
'Go now you must, for no one shall stay in on place for too long or forever.
If you sit at a friends fire too long, love will be lost,-so go now and seek the ultimate fire.
Be content in knowing that the fire you instilled in those around will in return spread out and warm others"
Thanks Jack

A great loss to the surfing and cold water community. I had the great fortune of surfing with him in front of his Santa Cruz home many times in the mid 1970s. One could surf leisurely then and simply enjoy the ocean experience. No cameras, no crowds, sharing waves. Before Jack and the wetsuit revolution, in the 1950s we in Southern California in the winter would go to the beach, build a fire, then surf for 30 minutes, and go back to the fire to get warm. His existence changed all that. God bless Jack and his family. Rest in peace looking at the ocean and riding waves.
