"Glen Kennedy owned and operated Kennedy's Surfshop in Woodland Hills California before passing earlier this year. He had shaped 1000's of boards throughout the years and some were here today. I didn't know Glen personally but I visited his shop for beach apparel. He was well known and friendly to all. A really a big part of the local surf community from San Diego to Santa Barbara and beyond. Today, 1000's showed up at First Point by the Malibu pier to pay their respect and give a traditional surfer send off by paddling out, forming a circle and then coming together in the center and splashing. Truly an emotional and touching event. The show of support from the many surfers morning the loss of one of their legends, hero, friend and mentor was inspiring. It was a privilege to film this event with permission from the event director and local law enforcement. Also spoke to the Lifeguard staff to let them know of my intent. This is normally a restricted area "No Drones" but was granted an "OK" by all for this event. I can't say that I didn't fly over a few people but I tried to keep it to the minimum by staying on the perimeter. The Mavic 2 Zoom is the perfect craft for this sort of event. I was able to bring the crowd in close without having to be over them.
Weather conditions were perfect at 8am but it became overcast by 10 when the paddle out began. Could not go higher than a 100ft before everything turned gray. I wasn't alone, a couple other drones were out there and fortunately we didn't find each other. Glen's closest friends and family members were in the center. Closing shot showed, it may have been his son being overtaken by emotions with the show of support from Glen's many friends and acquaintances.
This is truly one of the most Inspiring events I've ever had the privilege to film. Very touching.
For those close to Glen, I hope that I presented this Tribute in a respectful way. My condolences to the many that loved him. I think he would've been stoked to have seen how many showed up for his paddle out.
Thx for watching" - bdseidler
Hundreds showed up to Malibu on Sunday for the paddle out for the legendary Glen Kennedy, who passed away earlier this month. We compiled some photos and words from those who attended:
Glen Kennedy’s Legacy will no doubt live on and he will be missed. R.I.P. Glen!" - purelife33
Both my boys bought their first second hand boards from Glen, then later saved up to have him custom shape a board for them. He discussed their purchases with them as surfers not “kids”, no matter how young they were members of his community.
R.I.P. Glen ♥️ you are missed." - Naomi Newman
He will live on forever through the boards he made, all the wonderful people who ride them, and the friendships he made." - @fishnsoph
All I can say is spectacular Glen simply spectacular !!!!!!" - Jon LaLanne

One of the surprises of the event, which brought together the best longboarders in the world to the surf mecca Malibu, was the Hawaiian Sally Cohen, who stole the scene. At only 18 years old, the competitor landed a spot in the championship by winning the most votes on Surf Relik's video submission contest. Surfing the board of double world champion Phil Rajzman, she managed to reach 3rd place in her debut event. Sally is the daughter of surf photographer Paul Cohen the "Gordinho", who is one of the legends in the subject on the North Shore.

Here's the complete live stream of the second day of the Relik longboard contest at Malibu.

Here's the complete live stream of the Relik longboard contest at Malibu. Forward to the 18:00 minute mark, that's when the contest stream actually starts.
According to Surf Relik and the self-pro-claimed "definitive voice of surf", The Inertia, no other surf contest ever did video submissions before.
Never.
Not until 2018 when Surf Relik "pioneered a unique video-submission format", as The Inertia's non-fact checking writer claims.
Another The Inertia writer states, "Finally something different, something that’s never been done before. Relik’s Video Submission Open Qualifier".
This is probably coming straight from Surf Relik themselves though, as Pacific Longer Boarder wrote "Relik’s first-of-its-kind video submission open qualifier".
Appears like Surf Relik's PR Team is just spouting off some BS, And Of Course The Inertia would never question it (not the first time they published lies).
Come on now, not that all surfers would know, but a surfer writing for a surf website, especially one claiming to be the "definite voice of surf", should know video submissions for wildcard spots in surf contests have happened many times before Surf Relik's.
Back in 2013, the Hurley Pro Trestles held a video submission contest for a wildcard spot for the CT event.
In 2018, Gopro held a video submission contest for the OSSC National Championships.
In 2011, there was the Volcom Pipe Pro Wildcard Video Challenge
Oh yeah, the video submission contest to be a Wildcard for the O'Neill Coldwater Classic was held in 2014.
In 2017, INNOCNTS held their 1wv1fn, a longboarding video contest where the winner got an invite to the Vans Duct Tape Invitational.
And there's been others.
So NO, Surf Relik you did not create, pioneer, or do any first-of-its-kind deal with video submissions for a surf contest wildcard spot.
We got a huge batch of surfing photos from the International Surfing Day Paddle Out that WSL Pure and Surfrider LA hosted at Venice Beach. Some pretty fun party waves at the paddle out.
