The former world champion surfer reads from his book, Surfer's Code, describing a wave he caught in Durban's Bay of Plenty - the greatest wave of his life. http://penguin.book.co.za/blog
Surfing & Entrepreneurship ~ Tech and Travel - inspired by The Surfers Code. Met Shaun in Asbury Park, NJ at Bustin' Down the Door film premiere. Super cool guy.
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!!!
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.
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??
