Re-Air: EP 55: Randy Rarick - The early days of the Championship Tour, The all-time greats at Sunset Beach, Crowning the first World Champion, The shift to Pipeline, His Top 5 moments of North Shore lore

The first of our re-air episodes for the holidays. We hope you
safely get some waves where ever you are! WSL founder and Sunset
Beach local Randy Rarick talks about the early days of the
Championship Tour, getting started in 1976, the very first contest
on the North Shore, crowning Peter Townend as the first World
Champion, and how he got into the administrative side of pro
surfing. He dives into his personal story, from growing up in
Hawaii to learning to surf from Rabbit Kekai, his biggest
influences as a surfer, and shaping his own surfboards. He also
talks all things Sunset, including his thoughts about the wave as a
stop on the Championship Tour, how the greats left their mark on
Sunset, and the shift to Pipeline as “The Place.” In the first “Top
5” segment of the podcast, Randy gives his top five moments of
North Shore lore.  Find us on twitter: @thelineuppod Find us
