Bud Browne died on July 25, in San Luis Obispo, CA.
There will be a Public Memorial on 8/25 @ 7pm @ Waimea Falls Park on Oahu, Hawaii.

John Elwell: Anna Trent who has been caring for Bud Browne called Linda Benson and said Bud passed away yesterday. I think he was 96. He was of course the real pioneer motion picture surf maker. He excited us to go surfing in Hawaii and other places. He was a real nice guy and will be well remembered.

By Dennis McLellan, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer July 29, 2008
Bud Browne, known as “the father of surf films,” began shooting footage on 8- and 16-millimeter cameras in the late 1940s. He screened his first film, the 45-minute-long “Hawaii Surfing Movies,” in California beach towns in 1953. Admission cost 65 cents.
