The Legendary Surfer Who Rode Waves and Life with an Unstoppable Spirit

In the pantheon of great surfers, Jay Moriarity holds a special place. He’s a legend not just for his wave-riding skills, but also for his spirit and life philosophy. At Blide, we’re deeply inspired by figures like Jay, and we want to share his incredible story with you.

From Prodigy to Legend

Born in 1978, Jay discovered surfing at a young age and quickly showed a natural talent. But talent alone isn’t enough; it takes absolute dedication, a quality Jay had in spades.

“Live Like Jay”: A Life Philosophy

Beyond being an exceptional surfer, Jay was known for his sunny disposition and his willingness to help others. His motto “Live Like Jay” became a mantra for many, urging people to live with passion, integrity, and respect for others and nature.

Environmental Commitment and Sustainability

Jay Moriarity was also a pioneer in sustainability. Long before it became a trend, Jay practiced eco-friendly surfing, a value we at Blide fully embrace.

An Early Hero Gone Too Soon

Jay’s untimely passing in 2001 left a void that’s hard to fill, but his spirit lives on through the generations of surfers who look up to him as a role model.
