7/11/13: Jose “Titi” de Col passed away today in a plane crash in Peru. Titi was a great surfer and role model for the Peruvian surf community. He was also part of the …lost family for 15+ years – playing host to us on several occasions in Peru. We are deeply saddened and shocked by his passing. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. He will be missed by all. Below are some words from our friends in Peru.
