Chris Cahill, 1956-2011

We were saddened to hear of the passing of Chris Cahill, surfer, artist, surfboard maker, and original Z-Boy.  Chris is very special to us.  His story is one of the five that we will be portraying in "Who's Hungry - Santa Monica." Dan Froot and Dan Hurlin last saw him a few days ago, and today we heard he had passed. Chris called me (Dan Froot) after our recent visit to ask for feedback on his artwork. He said that he knew he didn't have much time left (his health was failing), but that he had met some wonderful people in his life, and that he was at peace.  Those were his words.  I will miss him terribly.  This project will be a tribute to his life and love of the ocean.
