Growing up I (along with millions of fans) was fascinating by Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin’s hands on approach to wildlife education. He was must see TV back in the day and when he passed it was a massive blow to his legions of fans. What I didn’t know is that Steve was a dedicated surfer and by all accounts a certified ripper at that.  Really enjoy this quick clip of him searching for snakes and surfing in Bali (FULL EPISODE HERE). Long live the Crocodile Hunter’s indomitable enthusiasm and positive spirit. WE MISS YOU STEVE.
