Greenough protest

November 22, 2012 | Words By:

Surfing Australia is celebrating their 50th anniversary in Jan 2013. As part of that they are running a contest looking for the ten most influential surfers in Australian Surfing from 1963-today.


Switch-Foot are compiling a list of quotes from people, including several famous surfers from the sixties and are going to send the quotes to Surfing Australia as a peaceful protest. If he is not included on the final list they are going to physically protest, with bowl haircuts, at the event!

Please take one minute to email andrew[at}switch-foot.com and answer this question.

Do you think George Greenough should have been inducted into the Australian Surfing Hall Of Fame (by now) and in your opinion where would he rank in the list of top ten most influential surfers in the history of Australian surfing?
