Surfing World just published their "50 Most Intriguing People in Surfing Today" in issue #374 ...some surprising entries!

I was expecting to find a popularity poll on the WSL gym jocks, but was pleasantly surprised to see a grinning caricature of George Greenough high up the ranks! I Some entries were less inspiring, I mean... how the hell does "Kookslams" even qualify as a 'person'? It's pretty much just funniest home videos for grommies right?

Has anyone else read the article? Who did you want to see in there?

My vote goes to Buttons, as intriguing now as he ever was.

Anyone else wanna add to the list?

Udo - I reckon I can peg a back story to most posters of regularity on here.

But not Udo.

Knows all, betrays nothing.

Don't know it I'm afraid.

Care to enlighten me ?

I don't want to potentially out the man . He wrote details about his name in that thread .
Maybe if I find the thread and post the link , then I'm theoretically not posting anything !?

Udo reminds me very much of an old poster on here named Victor.
That same short, blunt posting style.
Then victor stopped commenting.
Coincidence?!
