North Shore surfing legend, father, brother and super cool person Marvin Foster passed away May 18th, 2010 in Haleiwa on the North Shore of Oahu,  finding peace at last.   He was a fearless surfer with a true North Shore style.  Earning the nick names Carving Marvin and Marvelous Marvin he was a master at surfing the Pipeline and set the standard for carving in the early 80’s.  In 1980,  he was named Rookie of the Year by ASP World Tour.  Always a daredevil, he was the  first person to go left at big Waimea Bay, and  was one of the original invitees to the Quiksilver Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational surfing contest.

A straight “A” graduate of Waialua High School,  Hawaiian to the core and intelligent,  Marvelous Marvin looked you straight in the eye and told you like it was.  Loved and respected by his family and friends he will be truly missed.

Marvin is survived by his daughters  Vai Tiare Marr-Foster and Zjayna Foster, brothers Daniel, Cyrus, and Kalani Foster, and sister Pua McCormick.
