Larry Haynes was not only a surf cinematographer legend and filmmaker, he was also a dad, a son, a brother, and an uncle. He was loved equally by the surfing world and by his family.

We are here because we have lost the one who kept not only the surfing world showcased but held his family together through all that he did. He was the intricate part that got the “shot”, grabbed the groceries, filmed the contest, drove to water polo practice, got slammed on the reef, made the dinner, and so much more.

Without Larry, life will be different for us all. Larry (Uncle Larry) loved hard, he did life hard, and never took his foot off the gas. He was going to do whatever it took to provide for his only daughter Lilly. He loved her to the ends of the earth. We are here to ask for support of Lilly and her future, and to provide a fund for her to go to college as Larry always dreamed of for her.
