Skip Frye
A preeminent surfer, and shaper since the 1960s, Skip is a scholar of the natural forces that create breaking waves. His surfing -- minimalist and smooth, speaks volumes; this is a man on intimate terms with the sea who knows much and says little.  Skip trimming across the face of a wave is high performance art.  He is the definitive soul surfer, and one of the most respected individuals in the surfing world.
