RIP soul shaper Mike Griffin

RIP soul shaper Mike Griffin. Mike was a popular character in the San Diego surf scene. A soft spoken gentleman who made clean surfboards (usually without logos and unsigned yet still distinct). He was stoked on life and surfing. Mike had been fighting off cancer for years and years.
