Yancy Spencer with his son Sterling in 2000A tragic bit of news today in the surfing world. Surfing icon and Gulf Coast ambassador Yancy Spencer III died in California yesterday. He was surfing in Malibu then came ashore complaining of chest pains. After calling 911, local paramedics initiated CPR. The attention seemed to help as he claimed to feel better even calling his daughter to invite her to dinner that evening and exclaimed what a beautiful day it was. Shortly thereafter he suffered a massive heart attack and passed.
Spencer owned the well known Innerlight Surf & Sport in Gulf Breeze, Florida.
He will be sorely missed. Thoughts go out to family and friends. Condolences can be made on the Yancy Spencer III Facebook page established in his honor.
Reported in the Pensacola New Journal.
