Bodysurfing Community: Vincent Anthony Amendola & The Cheeeheeyewww Heard Around The World

As bodysurfers we're a small community united by our love and stoke for the ocean.

We may live worlds apart, have our own unique styles, speak another language, or prefer different brands, yet the ocean has a way of washing away all differences and connecting us.

Although, I didn't know Vincent aka @goodvibes_84 personally, his larger than life Instagram presence brightened up my days. Having grown up on the East Coast, he brought that healthy dose of NJ vibes, and the feeling of home.  He leaves behind an inspiring legacy of kindness, Cheeeheeyewww's, shakas, good vibes,and fearless bodysurfing.

In the words of Vincent himself from Sole Handplanes...

"Bodysurfing truly brings me peace, love, comfort, happiness, harmony, joy, and has humbled me in many ways. I'll continue to bodysurf for as long as I can! So I am on my way, a journey of itself, a journey discovering likeminded people, a journey to have fun, a journey to encounter the mysterious the unknown whatever that may be. And I love it that way cause that's what makes the journey that much better, not knowing what you'll discover. "

We hope you find your peace and keep on charging.
