Persistent wave rider, renowned surfer Dale Webster, known for his daily surfing spree over four decades, passes away at the age of 76.
In the surfing community, the news of Dale Webster's passing has sent ripples far and wide. Known as the "Daily Wavester," Webster, a surfer from California, held the Guinness World Record for the most consecutive days surfing.
The surfing streak was first reported in the local newspaper after Webster reached 100 days. This remarkable feat marked the beginning of a journey that would last over 40 years, a journey that ended recently, but not without leaving a lasting impression.
Webster's surfing streak began on Sept. 3, 1975, in Bodega Bay, California. Over the years, he surfed at least three waves to shore every day, a feat that earned him the Guinness Book of World Records title for surfing consecutively for 10,407 days. His record was set in February 2004, a testament to his dedication and love for the sport.
However, in 2014, Webster's surfing streak was interrupted due to a minor medical procedure. Despite this temporary halt, Webster continued to surf whenever his health allowed.
In 2015, Webster was interviewed by SURFER magazine, where he shared his passion for surfing and the inspiration behind his streak. His friend revealed that Webster was encouraged to surf for 100 consecutive days after reaching 85 days.
Webster's friend, William Beal, stated that he had lived a well-lived life. However, the cause of Webster's death has not been publicly disclosed. Multiple sources report that he died at age 76 or 77, but no specific cause of death was given. His family and close friends have only indicated that he had been experiencing poor health in recent years.
Paulina Dedaj, a Sports Reporter for this website, extends her condolences to Webster's family and friends. Webster's surfing streak was a significant part of his life, and his legacy will live on in the surfing community.
