In 2010, when I was 12 years old, checking out a maxing day at Waimea Bay with my dad, Jay came up and asked if I wanted a photo with him. I didn't know who he was and thought it was a bit strange, just assuming he was some tough surf guy with a gnarly look about him. Years later, after watching the Dogtown movies, I realised I had met the legend. Now, after surfing/skateboarding for twenty years, that photo means a lot more. RIP, Jay.

Seven you are such a good dude. Your Dad would be proud. Keep pushin

Warms my heart to you, a son, keeping your dad’s spirit alive. I’m in Philly and your Pop is a legend here and everywhere kid. I know he’s looking down on you with a smile on his face.

Seven is the spitting image of his father

I had the pleasure of growing up when your Dad and Tony were doing there thing. We would run into them in pools and parks throughout the valley. They were total rock stars. My buddy was Tony and I was Jay growing up, what an honor. We looked up to those guys. Great memories, RIP Jay Adams. Thanks for sharing. You do good young man. :-)

Jay is beyond legend

Seven, you’re the bomb. You’re you and a part of your dad.

Legacies are forever. Bless you Seven 🙏

Been skating since the 70’s when Dogtown was ruling Skateboarder magazine, Jay and T.A. were the guys that embodied a culture that never dies, glad to see the next generation carry on with that mindset, Dogtown forever 🙏

Wow man he looks just like Jay

Stayed in a room at Bungalows Zicatela early 90’s. Opened a drawer and carved into the wood was Jay Adams was here.

That would have been epic to see

I met Jay down in barra in the early 00s nicest guy you could have met . Dam good surfer too solid in that barrel. Rip mate.

RIP Jay Adams! Big Fan! Houston Tx!

Seven is the man too. Met him at Jay Day. Couldn’t have been cooler to me, down to earth and a kickass surfer

I was part of the Dogtown crew durring the era. Wasnt good enough to be s Zboy but i surfed skated partied and went to school with most of them. For the record, Jay was the best freestyle skater better than TA. And both he and Alva were incredible surfers. It was great time. Cheers to the Zboyz.

WE LOVE YOU SEVEN!!

Seven, my brother, this is amazing. Thank you for sharing your personal experience with your Pops. It’s amazing and graceful. Peace be with you and your family ❤️‍🔥

Condolences. And all the best to you Junior. You make your Dad proud. Youre a real Ripper 🏄‍♂

Legends never die 💙🤙🏼

JAYBOY FOREVER.

Best chunk of media I have seen in a bit

Super Stoked on this! Big fan of Jay and was a huge influence to us surfing and skating in Southern Cal! You did him proud bro!

Love those tattoos! RIP Jay Adams. 🙏

Back in the 70's Jay and that killer Crew used to get me so amped and just from reading skate mags .. we had no utube world wide web but we had Makaha's and Logan boards We had a empty pool in the neighborhood and can still hear that sound of wheels on concrete. Jay was a special Dude no doubt. Skate don't hate.

As a former Dogtown dude I surfed with Jay lots of times. But a trip to Malibu 3rd point during a pumping south swell 2+ feet overhead showcased just how great a surfer he was. Awesome

Would love to hear your whole story. Awesome tribute

I just wanna say, skateboarding is not a crime!!! All hail the Torrance Japan Bowl!!!! Blimpy blimps!

Since Day 1 Jay was the best Would love to meet you one day Traveling soon with my Waterbrother film Would love for you too see it too

Yeah Seven ! Good to see you’re doing good brother. Keep ripping .

Seven you come across a really friendly genuine guy, all the best to you 🤟

Jay Adam’s forever! 💙🤙🏼💙🤙🏼💙

Damn bro that had to be hard. Keep shredding man

Keep doing it big Steven! Marking your pop proud brother!

Such a sick story. Board sports in these boys DNA

Jay is my biggest inspiration for surfing and SK8.

yessssss I was just in venice hanging at the Juice event with Jim and OG dogtown crew...I was shocked and so happily surprised that even today after the mass commercialisation of skating, the essence and the best part of it still lives and breathes today as simply as it started way back when ...in Venice CA

This was a great watch,appreciate the effort. Uncanny how my eye/brain memory recall thinks it's seeing Jay instead of Seven. Wild,takes a sec! It's awesome because Jay would love this video the most👍

Jay is a legend, his son is like him

Super Sick 7 - you'd be surprised how many Alaskans rep for your family brah 🤙🏼 you've always got a spot if you ever make your way up North.

so cool man , aloha to you seven and RIP jay 🌊

Has a daugher also named Venice

Excellent

Awesome. Great content

Sick video

Awesome video.. much love.. :)

Awesomeness

As an foreigner looking in, Dogtown and the Zboy era was a very important part of American culture that shamelessly get overlooked and undervalued.

What an amazing story ❤

Great interview, thanks for sharing

Thanks for the good vibes!

Sick 🤙🤙🤙🔥

#1 Jay is immortal

Lords of Dogtown. There's a reason for the word "Lords"😇🙏✝️ ....I guess Seven is Lucky...I wish i knew why Jay and wife named there son Seven...Maybe they thought that they were lucky to have a child...I'm jus say'n, Flodaddy ❤

Your dad lived it and Breathed it he will always be LA .

🙏

🤙

Kid, your dad is my favorite skater of all time. And, God chooses the most interesting souls to spread the gospel. I hope your Dad passed that on to you. It’s his greatest accomplishment.

I find it very strange my last name is Adams and in 2008 me and my ex-wife were going to name our daughter seven I just think it's strange she would have been seven atoms too

legend in legandland

💯❤️🤙🏻 srfsk8r4life much love

forget this celebrity culture territorial garbage. I live in Venice. You can have dogtown, they are just another form of salespeople, they now hawk real estate too. Stacey P makes propaganda films. All selling & acting like they are regular folks. They never were. Gazillions of kids skate & many of them were inspired by Stacey,Jay & Tony. They are heavily promoted & connected. You can have all the gang bangers too. I don’t need a gang. True Apex beings make the world a better place for them having been through it. They don’t take & suck from the world all the livelong day.

You sound like you still need to grow up.😳 Man

Jay Adams was a violent bigot and drug addict. Not sure why he gets so much praise just because he shredded, while he completely let himself go and watched his life unravel. Dude had so many second chances and just kept blowing it.

A: Bullshit. Jay Adams wasn't a bigot. B: His life was doing the exact opposite of unraveling. C: What a sh!tty thing to say. Who the F- are you to judge him? As far as I can see - the answer is: 'NOBODY'. Jay Adams was a great guy. You're 'full of it' - and yourself, it sounds like.

LORDS OF DOGTOWN is also, VENICE 🫡

I thought the, GIV was VENICE? I’m so jk bros! Have a blessed upcoming weekend and life! 🫵🏽👋🏽❤️🫡
