Surfers paddle-out to remember Larry Loveridge.
A farewell to Larry Loveridge
Community
honors one of
their own
By R.J. Marx
Seaside Signal
The ethereal sound of a
Hawaiian conch shell sig-
naled the start of the ceremo-
ny to honor the memory of
Seaside surfer Larry Love-
ridge on Sunday, Sept. 30.
The trumpet-like tones
floated across the cobble
rock before dozens of surfers
— clad in wetsuits and hold-
ing longboards, shortboards,
wookies and swallow tails —
fell in to a circle. Gentle voic-
es chanted a Hawaiian hymn
as curious gulls hovered over-
head.
Friends, families and on-
lookers stood near the wa-
ter, surfers in wetsuits ready
to join the paddle-out to re-
member Loveridge, who died
of heart failure on July 6. The
paddle-out is a Hawaiian tra-
dition, a final ritual at sea,
and a feature of the Cove’s
tightly-knit surfing commu-
nity.
Alika Germano, Love-
ridge’s stepson, who trßaveled
from the Big Island of Ha-
waii, said he came to support
his mother, Noelani Halaholo
Loveridge.
“I came to support my
mom, and I loved Larry, too,”
Germano said.
“Heavenly father, we thank
you for this day,” Germano
said. “We thank you for ev-
erybody coming and showing
support for my mom, thank
you for the time we had with
Larry. We ask you to keep ev-
erybody safe, and these things
we ask today. Amen.”
Loveridge’s good friend
and the organizer of the event,
Seaside’s Jeff Stover, called it
a “touching moment for our
brother.”
He and others have kept
flowers at the Cove replen-
ished, and organized the day’s
events, which included a
pig roast at the Sons of Nor-
way lodge in Gearhart, with
“shout-outs and grinds for ev-
eryone.”
Stover provided directions
to surfers for the paddle-out
and water ritual.
One by one, surfers pad-
dled into the water, until a
string of surfers stretched
along the horizon. As their
numbers swelled, onlook-
ers could see in the distance
arms raised, waters splashed
and thrown toward the sky, a
human wave honoring Love-
ridge.
Voices rang out in unison:
“One, two, three: ALOHA!”
