Shaun yeah !!!!

[raz8834]

Yeah! Shaun was my favorite! Original Power Surfer! The look on his face as he reads about the wave, needs no translation for those of us who surf, hope it reaches those who haven't so they can experience what a soulful experience it is!!!

my friend's dad surfed with shaun tomson back in the day when he lived in south africa

[liquidbend]

I grew up surfing and some of my best memories of my surfing carreer was of Shawn Thomson surfing at the Huntington Beach OP pro and then I saw him surf the North Shore. One of the best surfers ever on the face of the planet. He changed surfing and helped make it what it is today. Thanks Shawn your incredable and he still rips it up like he used to I cant belive it he actually looks better now than he did back then,,,,,,,peace shawn much respect.

amazing wave and we surfers all have the ones to remember to get us to the next.

[TheDolphinspirit]

He is from South Africa. Durbin to be specific...definatly NOT A CALIFORNIAN!! IN ANYWAY SHAPE OR FORM...COMPLETE INJUSTICE TO CALL SHAUN TOMSON A CALIFORNIAN..and it is better then sex....and if you dont think so...its cuz u have never been 7m deep in a sand pit barrell...and he still is a god! and his time wasn the 70s do any or u people hav a clue what u say ever on a daily basis or do ya'll just open ur mouth and are u amazed as the rest of us @what comes out??

[crazyhorz]

Wow he was a God back in the 80s!!!! From Califronia.

[juicedupnsloppy]

Sounds better than sex.

[cobalt5]

Why do they have him reading like this. This is one of the most dynamic men with an exceptional way of talking about his passion and it's not captured anywhere here - too bad.

[lalaboards]

So I'm not the only one who caught that.Look back at the first comment.

[stevenbongo]

yo u can eat dogfood Jon, coz you aint achieved anything like Mister Shaun Tomson, so do me a favour.................. run under a bus!!!! tx FOR NOTHING cHINA !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lalaboards]

Wha oh What brand Alpo Purina ?What bus RTD be specific.I'm sleeping.Dreaming about mi buttum trern.

[lalaboards]

By the way I beg to differ about the achievement part.I actually Like and know Shaun and Michael and spent hundreds of dollars @ their shop in Santa Monica.I'm giving him a little shit ,but in this politically correct world of yours over sensitive weenies like yourself ruin it all.Shaun and Michael are both studs.I am glad that they are still out there surfing and documenting their life..I'm trying to find where I can get the vid.You have to admit,This looks like one of those poetry readings.

[stevenbongo]

you're on another track but I don't think you have as big a name in world surfing. That was my point. If you have respect show it more and don't categorise me or I'll come over and beat your lights out Jack!!

[lalaboards]

You probably voted for Obama ride an SUP .Betcha I'm dead on.

[stevenbongo]
