CHRIS Boyd - the surfer killed by a shark in the waters off Gracetown - has been remembered in an emotional service in the West Australian waves.
Mr Boyd's parents and his partner Krystle Westwood were joined near the spot where he died last weekend by dozens of wellwishers and mourners who remembered the 35-year-old's life.
His girlfriend read this poem in honour of Mr Boyd.
"I love the way we could share our passions together and were inseparable.
"I love the way you make me laugh constantly day in and day out.
"I love the way you based your entire life around me and I did the exactly the same.
"I love the way your smile is so beautiful and perfect and makes me feel so happy.
"I loved the way we were soul mates and knew it from day one.
"Most of all I love you for the person you are, my soul mate and my best friend and my entire life."
About 100 surfers paddled out into the ocean at Gracetown Beach, where there were cheers and tears.
Mr Boyd's parents Charlie and Barbara set off a flare in their son's memory, while a wreath sent from his friends at the Coolum Boardriders Club in his native Queensland was laid.
A paddle-out in Mr Boyd's memory is planned in Queensland for December 8.
Through Christian Surfers Australia, an appeal has been launched to raise money to help cover Mr Boyd's funeral costs.
Donations can be made through the Christian Surfers Australia Facebook page.
