DescriptionThroughout those years, Carroll was at the forefront of developments in surfing equipment. His Hobie Mini Model, introduced in 1967, was the first production shortboard in America, and his Deadly Flying Glove model furthered the evolution. He was one of the first to convert to twin fins in 1971 and was featured in a number of surf films in the ’60s and ’70s, including MacGillivray-Freeman's Five Summer Stories. However, Corky Carroll maybe most widely remembered for the 13 commercials he did for Miller Lite Beer. (excerpt from Drew Kampion in Surfline’s “Surfing A-Z”)On View
