Top 10 surfers in the world

Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, Scobey

 

lol that's a far stretched list lol.not counting contest wins heres my lineup
Kelly slater(always number 1)
jjf
jack robinson
noa deane
jay davies
Makua and koa rothman
the smith bros(both alex and whoever,and also the 2 smith bros from mavericks but that's outdated)
that French dude whatever his name is cant think of it
and il throw job in there..

only reason I don't agree with Nathan fletcher and twigs,is because they been the top dogs in the big wave scene for over a decade already,and still get no recognition.twiggy is a cool motherfuker,and nathans a fellow pothead so they are heros to me

 

clay marzo
kelly
tom curren
john john
alex knost
gerry lopez

idk clay marzo and tom curren are the only two surfers who have truly blown me away/inspired me. i can appreciate what good surfing is and who rips, but it's been a while since i was really amazed with HOW someone surfs. sure i've been blown away by one or two airs/hacks/barrels by someone, but never HOW they do it on MOST waves. not trying to sound like a self-righteous douche canoe or anything but even though every wave is different people just seem to do all the same sh!t all the same way.

inb4 ur just a kid u dont know anything

 

No Laird?

 

in no particular order:

Dane
Kelly
Mark Healey
Bruce
Alex Knost
Yadin
JJF


Those guys inspire me to surf better.

I watch a lot of old surf videos too, like from before '75. Those are the guys I really try to emulate style wise. For example, Nat Young in "The Crystal Voyager". Great surfing, cool film.

 

Pete Devries
Timmy Reyes
Kelly
Dane
Curren
Jason Collins
Raph Bruwiler
John John
Owen wright
Matt Meola
Wardo

 

JJF- charges barrels and has that stylee layback cutty
Dane-He rips....actually fun to watch surf
Mason- from rocky ledges to second reef pipe....he has range
Slater- still does not need Viagra to hang with the boyz
Mikala Jones- ruling Indo and other far out places and just charging/tr4aveling
Parko and Fanning- same category...flawless styles
JOB- his pipe antics make it fun...dude can ride the barrel
Toledo- I think he could win world title one day
Kerr- Not the best surfer but I think he is a top 10 surfer and I like his attitude

 

i would rather watch mason ho surf.

the others may be better but he is the most entertaining.

 

I've only got five:

Roy
Wayne
Barry
Frost
Corey (Pohan)

 

I think noa deane deserves some love he ripz

 

Both inspiring... both from opposite ends of the spectrum. Curren is so fluid and powerful, with that "one with the wave" type of style. Marzo is the Bode Miller of surfing.

 

first off about mark healy,hes really an inspiration.any of u remember that mtv show "true life" I want to be a big wave surfer.that was one of the episodes,saw that shyt before I even started surfing don't know what year it was,but healy fukin sucked at the time and look at him now!!also I remember the mtv cribs episode with jjf,think he was like 9 yrs old or something,again this was before I even surfed.kid was bred to be the best.

ok on to ur finals.kelly vs mick,kelly would win in cloudbreak,sunset,pipe,waimea,or raglan lol.dont know about cocoa pier as they don't really have waves,yes I know that's where hes from btw.

jjf vs laird,id be rooting for Florence but laird would probably beat him on a sup while hes shortboarding lol.yea laird sold out,but late 90s he was the man.one scene that stuck out for me with him was an airdrop at jaws,like this dude literally airdropped a good 20 ft from the lip,in boardshorts,in 60-70ft jaws,no life vest or fancy wetsuit balloons.performance wise,laird did that in the early 90s,but as far as a waterman hes the real deal

 

I'd like to see him, Alex Knost & Ford Archibold take a trip and drive off a fvckin cliff together!

jk - That's really mean...
