The Passing of Two Legends!
North Shore legend passes away in Hawaii!
North Shore local Marvin Foster passed away on May 18th in Haleiwa, Hawaii. He was 48 years old.
According to Star Bulletin, Foster died from asphyxia due to hanging earlier this week, according to the city Department of the Medical Examiner. The manner of his death was classified as a suicide.
Foster, also called "Carvin Marvin", was known for his fearless frontside and backside tuberiding skills at Pipe and Backdoor in the late seventies/early eighties. He turned pro in 1980, placing well in local contests and winning the 1984 Peru International. Foster was also known for his part in the seminal surf flick The Performers, which documented the '82/'83 North Shore winter.
He'll be missed by the North Shore and international surf communities.

Diaz grew up in Puerto's heavy tubes, winning the Mexican Junior Champs in 1995 and spent his teenage years traveling between California, Indonesia and Hawaii.
Fellow Puerto local Coco Nogales wrote, "Honor him like all the others, he was a warrior. I've grow up with him and seen it all."
