From a young age, Philip loved surfing. He was incredibly creative and intelligent. He loved technology and fixing cars. As he got older, he became an entrepreneur, photographer, videographer, and editor. He created his own business by converting classic vans into custom "van life" vans in California. From there, he was hooked.
He documented his travels on his YouTube channel, "Gypsy Tribe" which took him all over the world from Spain and Canada to Central America. He loved traveling and exploring. He recently had his first photographs published in c-head magazine. Philip always had his own unique style, and we are so thankful to be able to carry on his memory.

The following day, October 15th. We will celebrate Philip with a paddle out at the Jacksonville Beach oceanfront park on 1st St an 6th Ave South, at 10 am. Please come join us on the beach as our local surfing community says goodbye and to honor one of our own.
