Favourite Surfers

Postby IrishGirl » Thu Nov 18, 2004 7:39 pm

Who's your favourite and why?

Mine would me Laird & Rob Machado. Rob Machado cuz I just love his style, he looks like he was born on a surfboard. And Laird for obvious reasons!

Kelly Slater:

He endorsed John Kerry.
He's from Florida.
He's six time world champ.

He's the man!

And then, there's Jerry Lopez and Mark Richards, too.

your going to think i like this surfer just because his names always popping up. But it would have to be Taj Burrow. only because he is always doing something different with his surf, and hes not too bad looking haha ;)
then it would be home town Maz Quinn from New Zealand YEAH!!!
Of course Kelly Slater because he is the best in the world.
but... big ups to mad Chick surfer "Lisa Anderson" go girls.
then chelsea Georgeson because shes ripping at the moment and her surf is sick!- even tho theyre both from australia....

Parko cos he's always stoked and smiling, and proper rips obviously but with excellent fluidity :D .
NOT Andy Irons cos he can't smile even tho he rips.
Bruce Irons cos he's really interesting to watch surf as you never know if he is gonna pull something out of the bag or not, and he can surf big stuff as well as new school.
Occy, nuff said really.
Taj cos I like his style - again interesting, new school, and can do power stuff too.
Slater, nuff said again.
Curran - smooth style.
Luke Munroe cos he can do a Superman :D .
Maybe Bede Durbidge. Never seen him surf but he's really going places and I reckon he's the new kid to watch out for.

Laird, Kelly, Rob...all those guys are great.

I really like Wingnut though.
Laird is my favorite "pro" surfer.
