005 Surfers’ Hall of Fame inductees announced in Huntingdon Beach
This week the Surfers’ Hall of Fame committee finalized their choices for the 2005 Surfers’ Hall of Fame ceremony at 10 a.m. on Friday, July 29, 2005, at 300 Pacific Coast Highway in Huntington Beach. This year’s inductees are: Robert McKnight, CEO and president of Quiksilver, who continues to change the face of surfing and the surf industry; Tom Carroll, famed Australian surfer who dominated the 1980s with power and strength; Mark Richards, who took the twin-fin innovation and claimed surfing’s world champion four consecutive times; and the late Carl Hayward, a local surfboard shaper who died earlier this year in his beloved arena, the ocean.
The Surfers’ Hall of Fame is the first imprint collection of legendary surfers on the West Coast. Each year the committee, which consists of business owners, surfers and surf industry professionals, choose the inductees based on their contribution, dedication, integrity and revolution to the sport of surfing.
