Laurie Towner - Big Indo - needessentials

The swell was almost to big for the reef, turning a perfect right into a thick double up monster. On the big day most waves where going unridden with only a few putting themselves under the lip and getting rewarded with some amazing tubes. After getting some great waves Laurie Towner got flogged at the bottom of a huge double up separating some ribs. He was done! but still stoked.

in early 1979 I met 3 Californians at Raglan (Steve, John, and Pat from Torrance). We surfed some waves around the North Island together. They'd come through Hawaii and Samoa, and were off to a place none of us had ever heard the name of before...a right with palms etc etc

Laurie makes it look easy. Draws smooth lines on heavy waves. Checkout his paddle -in his wave at maxing Cloudbreak .Rips on smallwe waves too.
