LA Times "Hundreds of surfers from around the world paddled Sunday not for swells but for calm waters where they circled up to pay tribute to revolutionary wave forecaster Sean Collins." by Lisa Girion
'The surfline.com founder died of a heart attack at age 59 on Dec. 26 in Newport Beach. Collins transformed the sport by developing a technique to forecast ocean swells.
'Surfers worldwide monitored surfline.com, and his forecasts were so respected that they were used by lifeguards, surf companies, television and movie crews, and even the U.S. Coast Guard and National Weather Service. The site gets 1.5 million hits a month.'
