DescriptionShaun Tomson, Mark RichardsAs the top guns of the Free Ride generation--the peak of 1970s surfing--Shaun Tomson of South Africa and Mark Richards from Australia ushered in a new level of performance and international flair during the sport's hard-fought battle to establish professional surfing as a viable life path. As champion, Tomson was an articulate, handsome tube rider who attracted the first hoards of autograph-seeking teenyboppers in the sport's history. MR, not quite the sex symbol type, was a mild-mannered, deeply-respected and popular figure whose surfing choreography contrasted rakish carves and glides.
