This month the local surf community lost one of its own. His name was Andrew Mckenzie, but everyone called him Andy. He was a great guy, one of those guys that you always want around, that you could never be mad at. Andy could rip. Busting a 360 with ease and then letting the next few go to friends. He was a quiet guy but I bet everyone who surf's the Newport jetties would recognize him in a heartbeat. He was one of the nicest guys I've ever known and it's a tragedy that his life was taken so soon. He had so much ahead of him.
