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

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 on
