- Meet Miki Dora, the legendary and controversial figure known as the "angry young man of surfing." In a 1967 article, he boldly criticized the overcrowded Malibu break, expressing his disdain for what he called "kooks of all colors, fags, finks, ego heroes, amen. Groupies and football. Punchy Valley swingers." 🤬
But here's the twist: Dora was not afraid to contradict himself. Despite his vocal opposition to surfing's commercialism, he appeared as an extra or stunt double in Hollywood surf-themed movies like Gidget Beach Party and Ride the Wild Surf! 🎥🎬
Not only that, he even promoted his own signature Greg Noll surfboards, featuring the iconic "da cat" model, through full-page ads in Surf magazine. One of these ads depicted Dora crucified on a cross made out of two surfboards, capturing the attention and admiration of readers. 🏄♂️🔥
As the years went by, the enigma surrounding Dora only grew. In 1975, at the age of 41, he found himself on the run, constantly traveling and seeking refuge in countries like France and South Africa. However, he eventually returned to California to face trial. ⚖️
Join us as we explore the captivating life and legacy of Miki Dora, a true rebel of the surfing world. From his controversial statements to his unexpected actions, Dora's story is one that continues to intrigue and inspire. 🌟
