As we know, the body of Charles "Action" Jackson was recovered on September 21, 2011 after a terrible kitesurfing mishap on Hatteras Island. Though I
rarely saw the man personally, he was a shining specimen of a human being and a committed kiter to boot. His contributions to the sport and to this
forum are innumerable; being one of the longest-standing members of the board, he has called PKF his home for almost 10 years. He has helped so many
before my arrival here, and when I did join in, he helped me too.
I just thought maybe it would be proper to write a few kind words on his profile. A simple Rest In Peace, because I feel that there are many out there
who miss him. I'm not exactly sure what to put, as I don't feel that I am the proper person to honor his life in that way. Feedback please, especially
from the admin.

I wasn't aware of that. What a nice thing for them to do. Does that invalidate my post?chris - 7-5-2012 at 05:05 PM
I'm sure PKF is just busy - they'll see this and I think would do just what you suggested....seems appropriate to me.pkf - 7-5-2012 at 10:03 PM
I'm happy to do it. Is that a concensous: "Rest in peace"?BeamerBob - 7-5-2012 at 10:09 PM
It catches me off guard when I'm reading an old thread and come across a post of his. Maybe we try the "Rest in Peace" for awhile and possibly
something even better comes up later.shehatesmyhobbies - 8-5-2012 at 04:28 AM
We had a kite release at WBB in rememberance of A.J. It was a bio-degradable kite that we signed then released out to the ocean. It went on for a very
long time. Several people there knew and flew with A.J. at some point in their kiting years.
This would be a nice way to pay tribute to him here on PKFSeanny - 8-5-2012 at 01:58 PM
I'm glad this got some attention, thanks so much guys. Wolfpaklv - 4-7-2012 at 09:38 AM
RIP AJ...never got the chance to visit him down in texas when he lived there. I always envisioned an incredible time flying with him on the beach.
Always enjoyed his company at Ivanpah. He was truly a selfless dude. Much Love!!!
