Tommo Clinton 16/02/1983 - 30/11/2009

It's taken me along time to be able to write this and I know I can't put into words how everyone feels, but on the 30th of November we lost a true friend and brother in an accident in Bali.

Tommo always lived his dreams, he lived without fear or boundaries with a constant smile. Weather he was chasing and charging big waves, taking water shots, freediving, spear fishing, skating or rock climbing. He was a traveller, a free spirit and a best friend to everyone he met, weather you knew him for 10 minutes or 10 years.

So this is our little tribute to you lad the brightest light I've ever met or had the privilege to know. I will never forget the memories, the waves and laughs we had or the inspiration you have given me.

You were a true friend, a legend, a hero and you will never be forgotten.

I love you brother xxx

'Catch a Wave' is the name of the fund that Tom's family have set-up in Tom's memory and it's aim is to provide surf equipment for the youngsters of Java, kids who are extremely poor, but like Tom hear the call of the surf.

Lots of them have real talent, skills they develop on wrecked, snapped and discarded old boards. To provide new ones would be a fulfillment of their dreams and this would be something very close to Tom's heart.

There will be a website set-up soon so if you knew Tom or would like to donate to the cause you can.

Last but by no means least all our love goes out to Tom's mum and dad, his brothers, sister,the whole family and anyone who knew or had the privilege of meeting this amazing young man xxx
