Description

This color photograph (taken from above) shows two men and a woman crouched on the sand at the commencement of a surfer's funeral. They are in wet suits and are preparing little bags of ashes of the deceased to be scattered in the ocean by the participating surfers . Standing around the three and watching are two women in a semi-embrace, another young man in a wet suit, and a white-haired minister in blue robes. The three young men all have shaved heads in honor of the deceased, and two have leis around their necks. See notes.
