HISTORY

Ben Severson has scored plenty of front covers during his time at the top as a top bodyboarding proffessional. This Bodyboarding Mag cover was from ’93.

Hawaiian born and bred bodyboarder Paul Cooper was a standout competitor on the US Pro Am circuit as well as a dynamic freesurfer. The photo of Coops busting big was taken at Off The Wall late 90′s photo Stroh

In ’73 Bobby Szabad ordered one of the first Morey original boards and Tom Morey actually hand delivered it to his address a month later and explained how it worked. The meeting had a lasting effect on Bobby who went on to become one of the pioneers of the manufacturing industry first with Morey then BZ. This photo of Bobby was taken at Ala Moana in ’74. From the pages of BIM.

In the early 90′s Lanson was a rising star on the Northshore of Hawaii. Whether busting big at Off The Wall, pulling in at Backdoor or rolling off the lip at Pipe he was the man to watch. This pic was taken on the Westside at Third Dips , with Ronk stylish and casual in this tube over razor sharp rocks as usual. Photo Stroh

Sasaki appeared on the cover of the June/July issue of Bodyboarding Magazine in ’88, at the time he was one of the most popular riders in the sport.

One of the most skilled and talented bodyboarders to never win a World Title. Lester was a formidable contest  performer who can excel in any size. This pic taken at Andrews local break during the Shark Island Challenge was the move of the contest. Photo Stroh

Youngest World Champ ever winning back to back titles. This photo taken at Pipeline showing the type of moves that put Dre on top. Late 90′s photo Stroh

In the early 90′s Shark Island was probaly the second most photographed bodyboard wave in the world next to Pipeline in Hawaii. Not surprising that someone would cash in its noteriety and pump out some Shark Island Clothing with Perce there mainman. Photo Stroh
