Chops Lascalles
The British surfing community as a whole is very saddened to hear about the passing away of Pete Chops Lascalles , a great friend and influence to many . Big names and characters in the surfing world like Pete you expect to be around for ever ; and although his loss will leave a big hole in the St Agnes community his legacy will live on. People like Chops are not forgotten.
