Tom Morey, the creator of the Boogie Board and an influential figure in the surfing world, has died due to complications from a stroke, according to his family. He was 86.
"It was Morey who introduced more human beings to the act of wave riding than any other single person in history," said Jim Kempton, president of the California Surf Museum."That's quite an accomplishment if you think about it, millions and millions of people have ridden waves, and I would say that a huge number of them started out on his inventions."Morey died on Thursday.
A supportive figure, on and off landAll this time, though, he cared for everyone around him, all the while continuing to share his ideas with the world."Anybody he met, he always totally took them in, and he was absorbed, and he was influential to those people," said his son Sol Morey."He gave them free thought and helped them improve what they were doing.
