You can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning

I was shocked and saddened to learn that Matt Camp, of the Venice Surf Report blog, passed away. I think he was in his mid 30's, and died from complications of, all things, knee surgery.

I read his blog on and off for quite some time. He was totally politically incorrect, and had this running series about the boyos, the homeless alcoholics in Venice and the things they did. Sounds bizarre, but it was actually pretty funny and he did help them out when possible. He also posted the strangest videos that were so bad they were funny.

There is a paddle out planned, and if I can, I'll go. I never actually met him, and that's a bummer too.
