Surf Icons & Heroes

How did his style in the water influence surfing?

Da Cat’s style was the definition of cool. He made high-performance surfing look effortless, with lightning-fast footwork, timeless trim, and those iconic, cheater-five noserides that seemed to last forever. He approached a wave with a dancer’s grace and a strategist’s mind. This emphasis on fluid, aesthetic lines over brute force deeply shaped what we consider “good style” today. Many modern loggers and soul surfers still chase that elusive Dora-esque flow—smooth, silent, and supremely confident.

What makes John John’s air game so next level?

Dude, it’s the combo of pure commitment and style. He doesn’t just launch; he floats. John John finds sections other surfers don’t even see, using his deep rail game to generate insane speed into the lip. Then, it’s all about board control mid-air—whether it’s a massive alley-oop or a tweaked-out grab, he makes the impossible look smooth. It’s progressive surfing rooted in classic power. Watching him is a masterclass in using the wave’s whole energy to get sky-high.

What are some of the wildest stories about Miki Dora?

The legends are endless: skipping out on hotel bills globally, forging checks, “borrowing” cars for epic surf checks, and legendary pranks. He was a master of the discreet exit, often leaving a trail of bemused creditors. One classic tale involves him allegedly dropping in on a friend, only to have the friend’s board hit his. Dora sent a detailed invoice for the “damage.“ These stories cemented his outlaw persona, painting him as a clever, if controversial, trickster always playing his own game.

Surf News & Updates

What’s the difference between a ’QS event and a CT event?

Think of the Qualifying Series (QS) as the grinding minor leagues where up-and-comers earn their stripes (and points) to qualify for the big show—the Championship Tour (CT). CT events are where the top 34 men and 18 women compete. The QS is a global grind with more events, often in less predictable waves. Following the QS lets you spot the next grommet phenoms before they blow up and make it to the dream tour.

Why is style more important than tricks?

Style is your signature. It’s the flow, the grace, the way you link a turn. Anyone can hack at a wave, but a stylish surfer makes it look effortless and connected to the wave’s energy. Think of legends like Miki Dora or Joel Tudor—their approach is timeless. Focus on clean lines, good posture, and power with elegance. That’s what people remember, and more importantly, it feels infinitely better.

What simple things can I do to help protect the coast?

Always pack out more than you pack in. Join a beach clean-up. Use reef-safe sunscreen to avoid harming coral. Support organizations fighting for coastal access and marine protection. Vote for policies that protect the ocean. It’s about daily habits that add up to a big difference for the places we surf.
