Mary Ann Hawkins

Miki Dora

Jim Banks

There was no way I was coming out of that tube, but I did, and everyone was just screaming, the whole beach was screaming.

Keith Paull

My strongest desire was to travel. To me, the more beaches you surfed the better surfer you become.

Bruce Raymond

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

Cheyne Horan

Gary Green

Margo Godfrey (1970)

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

Tom Morey

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

Rusty Miller

I never thought of surfing in terms of a career. It was just something we did. I mean, I was going to be a political science teacher.

Andy Irons

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

Tiger Espere

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

Sunny Garcia

Simon Anderson (1981)

Some people openly laughed. All year people they were saying that the Thruster wouldn’t work.

Michael Peterson

I’ll never be a has-been. I’ll just drop off undefeated.

Renny Yater

Ryan Dotson

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

Peter Drouyn

Let my opponent look at me and say “Fuck you,” or ”I love you,” or “Let’s fight it out to the end.” Let’s have some contact.

Walter Hoffman

Shane Beschen

Brad Gerlach

Margo Oberg (1979, 1984)

I started surfing because I really like to be alone

Steve Lis

Jack O'Neill

What’s better than going surfing? What better possible way to occupy your time?

Ed "Big Daddy" Roth

Sid Abbruzzi

Tom Blake

Surfing leads you through life, especially when you’re young and with hope in your heart.

Jimmy Lucas

My mother made me my first board, and it was a very good board.

Eddie Aikau

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

Mimi Munro

Terry Fitzgerald

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.

Merv Larson

I'd go up and over with the lip, not make it, and my sinuses would be ruined for three weeks.

Dick Dale

Jock Sutherland

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

Dick Brewer

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.

Dave Parmenter

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

Donald Takayama

I named it “Velzyland,” because I worked for Velzy, and because I always wanted to go to Disneyland.

Paul Strauch

Turkey Love

You know something I hate to admit? For all the years I've been on the beach, I never did own a surfboard.

Hugh Bradner

You don’t have to stay dry to stay warm

Bev Morgan

There’s a limit to how much you can bullshit in surfing. In the end, you have to be able to look in the mirror and say, “I can ride this wave or I can’t.”

Bobby Martinez

Jack Haley

Bryce Ellis

I do it for the sport. I like to compete. I’d still be doing the circuit if there was no money at all.

Phil Edwards

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

Ronnie Burns

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

Hobie Alter

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

Pete Peterson

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