Timothy Watts contacted me yesterday
One of the first in Bali - late 60's
Little Dogs of Bali was his clothing company back then

He was a major supplier of materials to the Hoffmans and others.

No, this thread is dedicated to pros who are closer to average ability, but have made a living off of surfing. Dane obviously doesn't belong in this thread. Think Joel Tudor, Strider, Gravy, the Noel Salsa dude. I'd put annoying Chris Cote on the list.

Dane is another one.

Doesn't surf contests. Just exists and drops videos that make the internet explode. Still the best surfer ever (IMO) and I'll never get tired of watching him. Made bank with Quik and still makes bank with Vans.

Oh, and if those two ding dongs Ashton and Chas are pulling in a living from their dipshit drivel on surfing...
that would be the biggest crime of all.

Landon McNamara definitely deserves to be on this list.

Music sucks.

He does charge though.

But he’s making a living off being pretty mediocre all things considered.

While we at it add Makua too

clearly i have no idea of what i speak when it comes to "pro" surfers.... don't follow them much to be honest.

why is he not on the CT thing? didn't want to? also, in the talent department, is it talent there? or raw balls the size of a charging bulls? inquiring minds want to know...

:shrug:

makua "son of eddie" rothman?

also, what about that kala "i gonna beat yo face for just showing up at pipe on the beach brah" guy?

Both those guys make a living cause of Eddie.

Eddie gets a say on all things up on that piece of land including who gets to do what. So they gotta sponsor the kids to ensure they get what they need come winter time.
