Hawaii loses a surfing legend; Marvin Foster

We lost one of our Hawaiian surf legends a couple of days ago. Marvin Foster was one of the Happening Hawaiian crew back in the 80′s and 90′s. . Known as “Carvin Marvin” , he was reported to be the 1st surfer to go left at Waimea Bay and one of the earlier adopters of the Pig Dog stance in surfing. He appeared in classic surf films of the day including, The Performers, Hawaii 9-0 and a whole bunch of Larry Hayne’s classic flicks from the 90′s, just to mention a few.

These are couple of classic shots that I got of Marvin, the last time that I saw him surf which was at HUGE Puaena Point at the north Shore Tow In championships. It’s good to be able to share these classic images of Marvin with the world….

Aloha.
