Top Ten Surfers

Kelly Slater kills it every time he surfs, I can imagine him staying like that for a long time. He's the best surfer in the world and I'm positive it will stay that way.

He's truly amazing to watch and an unbelievable kind person to socialize with.

he is amazing smooth right narly cute backs massive clean rodieo flips and stunning technuique

You have small balls (to be honest)

what a man what a surfer. a man who never sold out. I love you bro

laird got really good skills than kelly =)
(sorry kelly)

I'm sorry but kelly could not ride the monsters laird rides

He is A very aggressive powerful motivationaly driving surfer. Very very enjoyable to watch surf. I happened to find myself out in the water with him and two other people yesterday at Hanelei surfing overhead choppy fun surf. I saw him using his airplane board thing, and he was just going so fast that it literarily hurt my feelings in a nice humbling way... So much to the point that after recovering from the failed duck dive due to my study of his style on an overhead wave sectioning through the bowl, I had to turn around and paddle in. I was kind of tripping because my mother had a surf shop when I was growing up as a kid in Sequim Washington along with a second one located in Carlsborg Washington. Being raised in a surfing family and having been surfing for nearly my entire life, it really means a lot to enjoy these Legendary Gentlemens company after many hard cold rainy frozen blown out flat gargantuan or even mind blowing at times days. If you follow your dreams you will ...more

R.I.P. Andy... would've set the others straight. Your the best in my books Andy... given time that wasn't enough.

Miss you Andy hope to see you in the next life, Hope the sets up there are massive

Andy irons has the best flow and style I have ever seen. He is the surfer who got me inspired to go surfing originally. Every time I watch one of his surfing videos I can't wait to get back into the water.

R.I.P. andy Irons

R.I.P. andy you were the best, we always remember you

Watching Taj surf always gets me stoked! He's just got the coolest style and you can always tell he's having fun when he surfs. His good air game doesn't hurt either.

Duke should be number one. The man was a graceful tank in the water what other surfer holds a gold medal in the olympics, and was a movie star in a time were race was a big issue... He won the country over with his aloha. The power and speed needed to surf the gigantic wooden koa boards in the old days I doubt half of the surfers on this list could even control!

It was Because of him And the Kahanamoku brothers of Waikiki that kept surfing alive in those hard days and we owe everything to him and those guys! Much love Surf god! Plus I still think George Freeth should be up here somewhere!

A Legend and soul surfer. He is the most Inspirational and influential surfer of all the times. I would be very happy to see him surfing with the boards that we have now.

WHERE IS MICK FANNING?!?!?

Since I started to surf I always identify with him, he has always been my role model. He is different, he is unique. His fluid and unique style, how he connects with the wave. I also think that what makes different to Rob is his humble personality, his generosity and his always good mood.

This dude has some of the most natural lines I'd ever seen.

I love Rob for his surfing style and his contribution to our local surf community especially for the youths.

Rob machado and the machado

taught kelly everything he knows

Tom Curren is the best surfer in the world without a doubt

Awesome take charge of a surfer. Gerry controlled the wave and didn't allow the wave to control him.

Still young and he's already a legend! Best surfer in the world, may turn out to be the best surfer ever

I think John John is amazing! He is so young and his style really smooth and exciting! He's the future!

No one has ever fell off his board in mid air and landed back on it... john johns the best

Your ugly your arms is crusty your arms is crusty

Guys have you watched chasing mavericks it's so
Sad but happy too. Jay should be number 1 or 2 because it doesn't matter about wether your rich of poor, clean or dirty
. Jay died doing the things he loved and he died so young... 22.
He drowned.
The end scene is shocking I would have never guessed. But if you are inspired by him, "live like jay"

This should be first I love the movie chasing mavericks! He did however die young at the age of 22 from free diving. I think he was a great goal setter and a good achiever.

I think jay should rank first for surfing the biggest wave in history and never giving up even though he wiped out thank for alway having a positive attitude and never giving up love you

I think he is the best surfer ever and a cute one it is a shame that he died jay love you thanks for never giving up

He is an amazing surfer that has perfect turns and airs I rate him 2nd best after Kelly Slater. His surfing style I think is rare and hard to find. He can change your perspective of surfing in just a few seconds of watching DANE REYNOLDS - EXCERPT.

Larry was the first to take short boarding to the level it is at today. He could switch foot easily to get barreled. He ripped and had style

This dude can do the SICKest airs

I think he rocks because he can do the sickest tricks ever!

The real deal, no other

Macho Man. No time for frills.
