We're all part of the same tribe!
We’re all part of the same tribe, as dear Kenny Powers once said, and it is true. Sure we may bitch and moan and complain about crowds, we may appear to actually hate each other but deep deep deep deep deep deep deep down inside there is love. We’re surfers. Brothers!
And a brother in Florida needs our help. Let us learn of his plight.
A Florida surfer’s wife is asking beachgoers to be on the lookout for her husband’s missing prosthetic eye.
Carolyn Pandolfi told WKMG her husband Raymond Davidson was surfing at Daytona Beach Wednesday and wiped out when he encountered choppy water. His prosthetic eye disappeared in the ocean.
“It would be amazing to find it in the ocean,” Pandolfi said.
Pandolfi said her husband had the prosthetic for 20 years. “It is a hazel green color and looks like an Eye he was surfing in front of the band shell,” she said. “These things are expensive so if someone finds it can you please message me.”
Daytona beachgoers were sympathetic to their predicament. One stranger was kind enough to start a GoFundMe account to cover the cost of the eye. The goal is to raise $1,800.
According to WKMG, Davidson has an appointment with an eye doctor on October 6.
Do you live in Florida? Can you help? I’m sure it won’t be too difficult to find just one.

So i guess he can still spy with one little eye?
Someone should check Derek Hynd’s pockets.
I lost track of time this Monday. I tried to keep an eye on the time but it just got away from me. If anyone sees a father figure with three hands, please return him to me before time runs out. Also, I started a gofundme page to raise money for me. Time is of the essence so get to giving People.
I don’t know why we’re joking about it.
schadenfreude
I see.

A private eye should investigate this matter. I would see if the good eye had motive to want the fake eye to “go away”.
Which eye? If it’s his left is he now only able to go right?
Eye am on it!
I’ll keep an eye out for it…
You have a fake eye too?
Dad, is that you?
Darn it. I found a blue one, a brown one but no hazel one
Get a hazelnut and some duct tape. Be the hero.
found it!
Probably in the stomach of a shark. Time to cull.
This guy has every chance right now to rock an eye patch and wear O’Neill for the rest of his life.
Better have a wicked story.
Couple of tourists with prosthetic heads tried bodyboarding/drowning themselves here over the weekend. They made it out of the water alive, but remain a menace to the gene pool.
