The words "follow your passions" will forever be inscribed in concrete on the corner of Pacific Coast Highway and Main Street.
Sean Collins, the founder of surfline.com, wrote the phrase when he was inducted into the Surfers Hall of Fame in 2008 and lived by those words. The influential surfer dedicated his life to following waves, tracking winds and sharing stories of swells with the world.
Collins died Monday and was taken to Hoag Hospital in Newport Beach, according to the Orange County coroner's office. The Seal Beach resident was 59.
Collins founded the Huntington Beach-based Surfline, which started as a phone service and became one of the most powerful surf forecasting web sites in the world, guiding surfers who once aimlessly searched for waves but now had information readily available to predict the best windows for waves.
