Ronnie Burns

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

Conrad Canha

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

Dru Harrison

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.

George Downing

Hobie Alter

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

Kim Mearig

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.

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."

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.

Greg Mungall

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

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.

Donald Takayama

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

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.”

Nat Young (1966)

Bob Cooper

Chappy Jennings

What’s going on when surfers are getting tattoos? I mean, what direction is it headed?

Jack O'Neill

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

Warren Bolster

I love real hard, and I hate real hard.

Brad Gerlach

Skip Frye

Surfing is like playing music. You play different melodies with different boards.

Michael Peterson

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

Keith Paull

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

Tiger Espere

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

Harold Iggy

It is a form of surfing, I guess. But a surfer prefers a real wave, not an artificial one.

Ryan Dotson

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

Bruce Raymond

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

Midget Farrelly

Andy Irons

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

Hugh Bradner

You don’t have to stay dry to stay warm

Jimmy Lucas

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

Neridah Falconer

I've never kissed anyone's arse to get what I have. There are always the battlers out there, and I'm one of 'em.

Barry Kanaiaupuni

Dick Brewer

Grubby Clark

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

Alby Falzon

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

Jack Haley

Sid Abbruzzi

Margo Oberg (1979, 1984)

I started surfing because I really like to be alone

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.

Gerry Lopez

Miki Dora

Sunny Garcia

Merv Larson

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

Renny Yater

Keone Downing

Shane Beschen

Tom Morey

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

Simon Anderson (1981)

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

Sharron Weber

I’m not making excuses, but I had a little hangover after going out the night before with some guys from the Puerto Rican team
