The surfing world has lost a legend. Jack McCoy, filmmaker, visionary, and icon of surf culture, passed away overnight. His contribution to surfing cannot be overstated, producing classics including Storm Riders (1982), Kong's Island (1983), Bunyip Dreaming (1990), The Green Iguana (1992), Sabotaj (1998), The Occumentary (1999), Blue Horizon (2004), Free as a Dog (2006), and A Deeper Shade of Blue (2012).
"Jack McCoy is one of the greatest surf filmmakers of all time. His library of work is second to none - he's filmed all the greatest surfers at the best locations on earth, and documented some of the biggest moments in the history of surfing." - Kelly Slater
