text: One of surfing's true pioneers and gentlemen.  Aside from a few aerial moves and screaming & crying about their heat scores, today's younger generation has done little for the sport.  They need to learn about great surfers like John Severson, Duke Kahanamoku, Doc Paskowitz, Rabbit Kekai, Michael Peterson, and others who blazed trails of genius, originality, and humility that's absent in the sport today.
