Been reading and occasionally posting here since I worked at Surfer Mag many years ago when this forum started. Keep quite most of the time and just enjoy what you all have to say, there are some classic legends here. Don't know any of you except had the pleasure of experiencing the generosity of PPK to me and my family in Kauai. Didn't know OTF, RIP and I sure hope there is some alter world or life after our biological bodies cease to exist, I hope OTF is scoring perfect waves somewhere with all his best friends. I am sending all the positive vibes and energy possible to his family and friends.

As a long time lurker before joining and posting, I've read countless threads with OTF's hands on them.
I never met him, but through many of you that have I feel like you've given me a good sense of who he was.
For 7 years I woke up every monday, trash day, and with my kids went outside and watched them pick up our trash, waved to them, said hi, and watched the pure happiness that has brought to my kids. They are still fascinated wtih it today at ages 7-9.
And for that simple act, I will always remember OTF as one of those guys, waving at my kids, bringing a smile to their faces, every monday.
RIP to OTF, and love and peace to his wife, boys, and relatives.
here's a clip thats still stuck in my head, catchy tune it is!

Spoonfish took the boys and Mom out today to finally send Kenny back to his happy place.
Good words from his FB post:
"Saying until we meet again, to a great friend, awesome father of these fine young men, and husband to this great woman, Kenny Clark. We love you!!"
Until we meet again brother....

Kenny would absolutely thrive on this hype. I can just imagine the perfectly crafted troll...Somewhere KC is laughing his ass off @youdumdums!
Hey Kenny
Crappy_Pappy is hoarding all the toilet paper. 
Crappy Pappy. OTF was here before us...Crappy_Pappy is hoarding all the toilet paper.
Going to work this morning.
Driving down the canyon, saw a garbage truck coming up. Right now, Kenny would have been on the front lines.

So weird to see this up here day after day. I have a hard time believing he's gone. It just seems wrong. A guy I grew up with died of brain cancer a few years back. Every now and then I'll see somebody in a crowd that looks like him from behind and just for a second, just for the briefest of moments, a millisecond, I'm sure he's back where he belongs. But of course he never is. Ghosts. See you around Kenny.
I had a friend who died of brain cancer and before she died she left a message on my answering machine.
I had it after she was dead.
I had to delete it. Because hearing her recording gave me this jolt of disbelief and grief.

Hey B5F and others who knew and loved otf, my sincere condolences. I hope the times you spent with him bring a smile to your faces and warmth to your hearts.
