3.) "How did you get into competitive surfing? What was that like?"

"My dad took me to the first West Coast Championships at Huntington Beach in 1959 where I surfed in the Junior Mens division. I surfed in most of the competitions in California and finally won one in 1962. In those days people went to the contests as much for the parties and the competition."
"It wasn't very professional in those days. I won the United States Jr. Championship in 1963 and the overall United States Championship five years in a row from 1966 to 1970, the first three International Professional Championships in '67, 68' and 69', the International Big Wave Chaqmpionship in '67 and also the World Small Wave Championship in '67 and was named best surfer in the world by Surfer Magazine in '67. Over 100 victories in all."
