Muchas gracias por todo Shaun Thompson
Shaun,a true intelligent gentleman, great surfer. Surfed south mission jetty San Diego next to him in the mid 80s and met him personally with my son about 5 or 6 years ago at the 100 wave challenge at mission beach San Diego.
I believe he is around 58 here😳. So inspiring!
Very inspiring to see him surfing so well at his age. I hope I can pop up that smooth if in surfing at that age. Much respect!
he's the 1977 world champion. Have a look for the 1986 Spur Surfabout final held at Long Beach Kommentjie between him and Brad Gerlach from California, see if you can find that one. He's still ripping it at nearly seventy...the okes a legend my bru 🤙🏼
Thank you for the positive words. So good! Much appreciate it. :0)
So much swag when he pulled in to that first barrel. Nice big carves.👌
He complimented me on a wave I caught at Rincon one day. Made my day!
I was out at The Con early 80's it was shoulder to about 2' over head around the river mouth I pulled into the real nice long barrel and as I'm in there I see this guy just stopped paddling and put his hands on the front of his board with this real big smile and just watching it was Shaun -- paddled back out he smiled and nodded at me, made my day. The guy always put out good/great vibes not like some pro's...
So good ! My dad always told me. "Aim for the stars and you will hit the moon." Thank you for the good teaching Shaun.
How great was the man’s style .👍
No leashes and Great Whites....Knarley !!!!!!!!
One of my childhood heroes. Saw him surf my home break El Captain in 85. Truly epic.
I’ll never forget the famous photo of a huge curling lip touching his head, and Shawn smiling like it was all planned. Been looking for that photo and cannot seem to find it, but what a memory.
I thank God I grew up in this era too, before slashing and tricks was the way, when Surfers were Artists drawing lines and flowing with the Ocean, not trying to kill it. Nothing is better than carving lines except those moments in the tube. Today's surfers, have fun. But when you see the STYLE of an artist on a wave, like my beloved Jericho did too in her day, it cannot be beat by aerials.
That’s because the equipment wouldn’t allow it. If it did,Shawn would be ripping it top to bottom But agree , I’d like the flow style much better

Shaun Tomson is one of the very very best!
He was the hero from my day The first hints of modern day surfing. Larry Bertleman, Buttons These were yhe guys that inspired the Z-boyz and Dogtown crew and everyone else im sure. J-bay was the wave we drew on our brown, paper wrapped school books.
So ELOQUENT !! What a gentleman. God bless you brother. See you in heaven cobber. NZ
Not sure what year (late 80's or early 90's) I was returning from the Hollister Ranch just before dark with a buddy (by car) and we were driving by Razor Blades (Winter, Massive swell) and there were quite a few boats anchored-up and a number of guys in the water still catching these double overhead rights; one stood out though. Shaun was tearing the wave apart and it wasn't until later that night at the Chart house in Santa Barbara (now closed), we found out the name of the bloke that "owned Razors". He got a bit of a bad rep at Rincon for being a snake, but I tip my hat to this bloke from SA ! Great memories; I still think of you that night ripping Razors. Cheers, mate. Liked, subscribed Funniest part ? Dan Merkel lived in a tiny house just down from the Cliffhouse where I used to live in the 70's. Your commentary in the lighthouse episode (West of the West) is brilliant.
Amazing and inspiring!
My favorite era, 70s and 80s, for short board surfing.
GODS LOVE AND BLESSINGS TO ALL.... SHAUN TOMSON BEST SURFER IN THE WORLD WHEN SURFING STARTED AND 4 EVER..... SHAUN SURF THE REALLY BIG WAVES AND SUPERIOR CUT BACK AND SUPREME TUBE RIDER SLATER COULD NOT DO WHAT SHAUN COULD DO......TOM TOM
good man 🙏🤙
Short board pioneers like him figured out how to do what surfers today take for granted as common knowledge. To do all that without someone telling him to ride or learning by seeing waves being ridden that way shows how smart and brave he was. No you tube videos. Just guts, brains and creativity.
SHAUN TOMSOM IS MY FAVORITE SURFER...SHAUN SPECTACULAR TUBE RIDER CAN JUST CARVE UP THE WAVES AS ONE WITH THE OCEAN...... 25 TIMES BETTER THAN Kelly slater......TOM TOM
Only 671 subscribers, this man was the greatest ambassador surfing ever had, until Kelly took over
Tom Curren was also
Tomson -- the way the guy charged the North Shore was beyond epic, no fear, head down and ruthless.
He was my favorite. I picked up his style in my surfing days. 70s.
Very cool..he's pretty heroic...my wife was a casting director on a film in Gods Hands back in the 90's I think..we met him in Hawaii. She was a Palisades gal..surfed her whole life...died back in 2014...too soon. She was a really good longboarder...old school...slim, tan..the epitome of a surfer girl from the 60's/70's...she could really slide clean on a wave...
0:10 Thomson may have ridden J bay better than anyone else before but definitely not since. These days a 14 year old on a modern board could outperform whatThomson did back then, and the kid would just be an average grom.
Back in the late 90's my wife, a casting director and I had the opportunity to meet him and spend some time with him in Hawaii while making the film In God's Hand...of course we were both veteran surfers my wife and I so it was great to know we were not just guests at the party..
The way he delivered that last line at the end seems so candidly heartfelt. He's always been among the most stylish and distinctive surfers ever. Back in 70s and 80s you could easily identify the top guys by style alone. I dare you to do that today with the compulsive slash and burn approach which is more rape than love making and seems more geared to win points in competition than to have fun, which surfing is really all about in the first place.
STYLE MASTER at work
Fluid and graceful, yet powerful...he was my favorite surfer of that era!! Saw him win the Pipeline Masters on "The Wide World of Sports". Good Greif, I'm getting OLD. wait..I AM old,...
Broke my knee hitting the bottom surfing Pipeline. My friend's brother died there. It's dangerous. But it also gives an experience that makes the risk worth it.
I will meet you !!
you and mark..peter, ian....
nice to see him..gotcha...loved those shorts..
Legend !!!
Good stuff Shaun
Aloha Shaun, great video and great comments at the end. A Gentleman and a Legend...Pioneer of professional surfing. Thanks Shaun Tomson!!!
FOREVER AI from Greece!
Clinic on 'Rail to Rail; surfing ,,.. Groms should be taking notes
Back when intellectuals surfed. Better days.
Still got that GREAT STYLE!
Such a to bless see a person into their 60's and still shredding.
So good to see that style of Shaun s after all these years.
Rest In Peace Andy
I still remember in the early 80's my friends and I would see Shaun at Rincon surfing and we would try and drop in real fast and kick out on the same wave as him so we could go back to school and say we surfed a wave with Shaun Thompson. Funny when I think back. Shaun was always such a nice guy in the water back when we were kids. Nice to see him still ripping.
Hey Shaun, do you remember a little blonde gal, named Marla Swanson back in the early 80’s? Garden Grove, California?
Hi Shaun …you’ll wanna read this…do you remember being left stranded by your boat captain on Lakeba island in Fiji during the Fiji Quiksilver tour in the 90’s? Do you remember that Fijian boy at the boat jetty that took you and your companions to his house and you gave his mother some SA Rand because you guys had only foreign currency and bank cards at the time? That Fijian boy is my best friend and we live in New Zealand now. He is actually one of the highest chiefs in the Lau Island group. His name is Tevita/David(or sometimes known by his chiefly title, Ratu, and his uncle was actually the Fijian president at the time, Ratu Mara. He remembers taking you to the airport and the flight was cancelled due to a plane crash, so he billeted you all at his house, called Lolopaogo. I showed him a video of you and he recognised you instantly. He said you were the only one who would not drink alcohol and remembered you are of Jewish heritage. And his mother made fried fish for all of you. She has sadly since passed away. He said you guys gave him a bunch of your gear when you left. He never forgot you and when he told me the story, I had to try to connect you two. He sends you his best regards. “Ni sa bula vinaka , Shaun.. Kalougata jiko” It means: “Greetings, life and health, Shaun. Bless you.” Thanks Shaun Tim (I’m from Illovo Beach, originally)
