Anyone who ever surfed for any period of time probably owned one his wetsuits. I know I did. Even if you didn't surf you may have owned some of his other products.

Respect to a surfing pioneer,

I don't get the macgyver references but I have purchased some O'Neill products over the years.

Dude was 94 years old. That's a long life! Gone to that great tube in the sky... RIP brah!

Richard Dean Anderson, the actor who played MacGyver, played a character named Jack O'Neill in the Stargate TV shows.

Despite being 18 years old when macgyver was first aired I never got into it. I had more important things on my mind, like college, a job and pussy.

I never watched either of those shows.

Always been more of a diver than a surfer, but I have one of his wetsuits packed away somewhere, probably a few Tshirts and a hat too.

94. There's something about working out in cold water than keeps you strong and healthy. It sounds like he had a wonderful life, we should all be so lucky. RIP Jack

I had one when I was a kid. Would have kept it, but I outgrew it. He was a bit of a legend in the surf community. RIP.
