Gary Propper

Grubby Clark

It’s dirty, messy, and it’s hard work, and it’s not anything you'd dream of doing for a career.

Cheyne Horan

Margo Godfrey

So be generous, be kind, pick up hitchhikers. When you're cranky and mean, things always turn out badly.

Al Merrick

I wanted to be “the best shaper in the world”—except, you later realize, there's no such thing.

Joyce Hoffman

Peter Townend

I loved the fame, I fuckin’ danced on tabletops after the contest, and if I could’ve hung out with Bob Dylan, great.

Ryan Dotson

Things will just keep progressing. Radical surfing is here to stay.

Jock Sutherland

You’re out there to surf . . . it's definitely a lusty situation.

Phil Edwards

Sometimes I feel like a two-bit version of Mickey Dora.

Kim Mearig

Sid Abbruzzi

Lorrin Harrison

John Milius

A movie about Vietnam has to have a surfer. It was a California war—all the dope, the peace symbols, the rock and roll.

Bruce Raymond

I joined the fire department and earned $150 a week and I’d spent $100 of that on dope.

LeRoy Grannis

I drove to Malibu after the war, and there were a dozen guys in the water. I turned to a friend of mine and said, "Well, it's ruined."

Terry Fitzgerald

Andy Irons

You gotta go in the mud sometimes to figure out who you are.

Jeff Hakman

Surfing is almost a way to fly.

Snow McAlister

In 1925 I was invited to give a boardriding display at Catherine Hill Bay, near Newcastle. I found suitable waves near the mine jetty.

Hobie Alter

My dad encouraged me to go into the surfboard business. He didn’t think I was going anywhere in school.

Butch Van Artsdalen

I don’t want to be connected with surfing in a business way. I’d like to be a plumber.

Conrad Canha

It's bitchin’. I work three months, then draw unemployment the rest of the year and have a great time.

Greg Mungall

That’s when you’re really making something work. When you hate the other guy because he surfs better than you.

Gary Green

Ed "Big Daddy" Roth

Glen Winton

What was unconventional then is conventional now. What we thought was impossible is possible today.

Corky Carroll

I had to sell the Porsche. Which was fine. It's a dumb car for a surfer, when you think about it.

Midget Farrelly

Dave Parmenter

I don’t need sponsors. I surf better when I’m broke anyway.

Sunny Garcia

Mimi Munro

Dane Kealoha

There’s always gonna be kids coming up to push the older guys overboard. I give myself three more years, then I’m gonna have to get into something else.

Jack Shipley

Peter Drouyn is the unsung hero. He impressed me with his surfing, but staggered me with his thinking.

Mike Tabeling

Jack Haley

Keone Downing

Tiger Espere

We’re free here, getting it on, grooving in the nature that is all around us.

Mike Hynson

Shane Beschen

Kalani Robb

I was the youngest kid ever on the WCT. I'd get kicked me out of the competitors’ area because the bouncers thought I was just some lost grommet.

Eddie Aikau

I’ve gone over to Barry Kanaiaupuni’s way of thinking. Turns are all I’m interested in now.

Ronnie Burns

After a while, surfing Pipe is just like surfing Rocky Point

Paul Strauch

Alby Falzon

Once I made Morning of the Earth, what else was there to say?

Nat Young (1966)

Brad Gerlach

Pete Peterson

The girl makes a tandem team. If she looks like a sack of flour up there you wouldn’t get many points.

Walter Hoffman

Tom Morey

My idea of a true surfer is a guy with practically no muscles: A pure loafer, just barely squeaking through it all.
