Legend and Surf Photography Icon, Leroy Grannis, Passes Away at 93
The surfing community suffered a great loss this February when surfer and renowned photographer, Leroy Grannis, passed away at age 93. A Hermosa Beach local, Grannis was inducted into both the Surfing Walk of Fame and the International Surfing Hall of Fame and went on to co-found International Surfing, now known as Surfing Magazine.
