Just got the news that Mike Doyle passed away. I met him in early 2000s in the lift in Aspen. He and his friends invited me in to go snowboarding with them. All of them pushing 60 but charging hard as they still were 20. Hollering and shouting while carving up the groomers in Buttermilk. After a couple of runs Mike told me I had an ugly heelside turn, with his typical growly voice. And then showed me how to carve surfstyle. That's how Mike was, friendly and generous with himself. I had no clue that the old guys were legends in their own right. Surfing champions. Im a Swede knowing zero about surfing in the 60s. As I kept coming back for snowboarding we kept in contact and during my visits, we carved up Tiehack and jammed at the Bearpaw cabin. The more I got to know Mike the more he inspired me to keep going and not getting lazy and complacent as I'm getting older. If Mike and his beautiful wife Annie could drive around USA to market Doyle Surfboards at demos and tradeshows. Doing art and playing music being 70, still with a smile on his face, I have no excuse for not pushing on with Stranda Snowboards. Honestly, I don't think I would be doing it if it wasn't for Mike as he pointed out a direction that I just could follow - to just keep on doing what you love - every day. Rest In Peace my friend and big hugs to Annie! ❤ Mats #mikedoyle #legend #surfer
