Life hasn’t changed much for Mike since he won the 1982 Pipe Masters, except for his luscious set of hair, which has sadly disappeared.
In celebration of Michael’s 64th birthday, videographer Riordan Pringle who shoots for his son Mason, dropped a highlight reel of Mike surfing this year, plus a flashback from the ’80s.
Michael surfs every day. It doesn’t matter if it’s two-foot slop at the beach break he grew up at, sketchy slabs with Mason or being a standout at overhead Pipe. A 64-year-old standing tall in a 10-foot backdoor barrel is nothing short of incredible.
Does Mike have higher froth levels than Mason? It’s damn close.
Enjoy!
