Tributes to professional cameraman and British surf filmer Sam Buckle are flooding the internet after he passed away at the weekend.
Sam was huge part of the Bodyboarding scene producing films like ‘I Try Stupid Things’ and Lid magazine.
Joe Buckle posted this announcement yesterday
“It is with absolute devastation that we share the passing of Sam. This news has been a profound shock, and we know it will be for so many people across the communities he touched—from London to Cornwall, the North Shore of Hawaii to Portugal, Newquay to Scotland, and in Oxford, where his life adventure most recently saw him anchor on his boat, authentically dedicated to his unique way of life and dedication to outdoor living.
Sam brought a truly passionate and special presence to every place he went and every person he met. Whether in surf, wakeboarding, wildlife, film, rivers, gastronomy, or Land Rover communities, Sam brought immense enthusiasm and was one of a kind. We will miss him deeply. We hope we can all remember him together, carrying forward his spirit in the areas he so passionately loved.
In the coming days, we’ll be sharing more about Sam. For now, we’re reflecting on his imagery, recalling his voice, and cherishing the good times we shared.
We love you, Sam.
With love,
Joe & Family
