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
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.
Hi Shaun Thomson! How're doing!! I'm Jordy from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I met you in the 70's. Do you remember? My pleasure, send best regards to you!! Wish you all the best. A real Champion of the world!
Pure Legend.Oil peers legend. We’ve met twice and Surfed together more than a few times, you were a pure gentleman with a bright light both times. It’s cool to cross paths again 20 years later in cyberspace. Did I say 20 years? I did the math and it was 35 years ago. Damn time flies. Live the code❤️ Thank You Shaun Thomson.
Shaun was our hero growing up. He was out on the best day ever at a little jetty in front of LAX. It was the only time I ever heard of him surfing it and it was all time! I love his stories of surfing El Capitan and Newport...
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.
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 🤙🏼
Hi Shaun,well done mate,still surfing beautifully,cant forget in your era surfing, those remarkable half bottom turns in the barrel,a pleasure to watch,keep surfing Shaun.
Dude still rips!!!! "Born to Move" I met him at Rockies. I was a young star stuck transplant. I asked him for some wax in the line up and he happily reached in his pocket, paddled over and handed me a bit. Super gentleman.
this concept is so contentious on Australian surfing forums. Those who are privileged enough to live near epic waves are scoffing at the need for it. Meanwhile those who struggle to get quality wave time because of all the normal family/work commitments or lifestyle or geographical challenges are going .. "yeah.. I can dig that"...
Great surfer from a great era , awesome dude still one of the best to watch surf pipe backhand and those sessions with MR at O.T.W and home at Jeffreys bay he had it wired ! Classic ST .
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...
Way back in the 80s I managed a swim club w/ olympic sized pool and the operating cost were ginormous. Elec/water/chems/maint/insurance/labor/taxes... This combines large complex machinery, lot of land with water. If located in a tourist area running 18hr days 7 days wk max capacity maybe but the $$ per hr has got to be steep.
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
nice to see him..gotcha...loved those shorts..

So good to see that style of Shaun s after all these years.

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!
Still got that GREAT STYLE!
I briefly spoke to Mr. Tomson out at a local break and he was very polite and could still rip it up. Glad to see he was able to surf Kelly’s wave. 👍🏻
Aloha Shaun, great video and great comments at the end. A Gentleman and a Legend...Pioneer of professional surfing. Thanks Shaun Tomson!!!

One of my favorites🤙🤙
The off the wall tubes on the single fins with concaves..epic 🌊🌊🤙🏝
Old style!!! Flowing round arcs !!! Love it.
You are still ripping Shaun, Thanks for posting this!
Such a to bless see a person into their 60's and still shredding.

Still throwing spray all over the place! Good one Shaun! Howdy from Texas.
Style and originality!! Legend.
A true gentleman. Shaun Tomson is a legend.
Funny how some of filthiest players manage to get this gentlemanly reputation. A notoriously unethical burn artist if ever there was one.
Great surfer from a great era , awesome dude still one of the best to watch surf pipe backhand and those sessions with MR at O.T.W and home at Jeffreys bay he had it wired ! Classic ST .
hes such a legend world champ
WOW!!! You are rippin' "the pocket" a "new one"!!!

Ripping over 60!
you and mark..peter, ian....
Awesome!
Amazing wave and would love to surf it sometime but not digging how this new take on surfing is being pushed and marketed by KS and WSL.
I've seen the future and it works!
Look at The Venus Project. Thats what got us to the moon.

Uses solar power but IMO still cost a lot to power it.
Clinic on 'Rail to Rail; surfing ,,.. Groms should be taking notes
Still awesome 👌✨ star
Kkkkkkkkkkkkkk toooppp demais
Kelly has made the barrel section too fast for even ex pros. Normal punters wouldn’t have a chance of getting through.
I think something is lacking because it's not ocean water and not as bouyant
what next cloning surfers?not for me but nothing wrong if no surf about.
Ive always loved S.T. so this is not a jab but doesn't he look like a young Doc in the movie back to the future? 🤔😂🤙😷🇺🇲
C'mon, both Kanga and Shaun can't handle the tube section?
kooked it
We will always love you, Shaun!
