Dick Pearce 1929-2010

It is with great sadness that i report the death of Dick Pearce . Dick was the man for wooden bellyboards in the UK having continually made ply surfriding boards since the sixties up until the present day . I am stoked to have met the man who's passion for life & twinkle in his eye remain an inspiration to me . May he be at peace & riding endless lines of whitewater shorewards .
