Watch “Barney” A documentary on one of surfing’s greatest characters: Shawn “Barney” Barron

Video: Troy Eckert and Mike Morrissey

It’s still hard to believe Barney is gone. But this rad documentary celebrates on of the great personalities surfing has ever seen. This film deserves some time today.

Beyond a great surfer and person he was an artist, comedian, son, brother, and true friend who lived and breathed laughs and creativity into everything he did. Despite the challenges of his bipolar disorder, he maintained an infectiously positive attitude, irrefutable love for life, and endless generosity that brightened the lives of all who knew him. His spirit reminds us that now is all we have… It reminds us to live now to the fullest.
