All this surf talk on PT has made me think of the surfers that most influenced the sport:

1. Duke Kananamoku- HI...He popularized the ancient Hawaiian sport.

2. Rabbit Kekai-HI-USA...He is one of the innovators of modern surfing; was a beach boy at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel and I was lucky to surf with him in Hawaii and later in Costa Rica.

3. Micky Dora "Da Cat"- USA...famous for making surfing a rebel lifestyle.

4. Gerry Lopez-HI-USA...Great surfer and founder of short board LIghtening Bolt brand.

5. Mark Richards-Aus... 4 World titles, rode Lighhtening Bolt surfboards

6. Simon Anderson-Aus...Invented the 3-fin "thruster" which is the industry standard today.

7. Jeff Clark-USA...Rode Mavericks ALONE for 15 years before the big wave community discovered this monster wave.

8. Laird Hamilton-HI-USA...the ultimate waterman; invented tow-in surfing to ride Jaws (Peahi-Maui); popularized stand-up paddle surfing. I saw a video of him in 10'+ Malibu surf shoot the pier twice.

9. Kellly Slater- USA... Everything has been said; Florida boy who is 11 time World Champion and his company has built the best artificial wave in the world in California and has plans to build another in south Florida.

10. Name your own... I'm sure I overlooked a few.

That doesn't happen there / So when you run make sure you run / To something and not away from

Cause lies don't need an aero plane / To chase you anywhere
