“Making Waves”
by Buzzy Kerbox
Watermark Publishing, $
A popular assumption is that tow-in surfing — the barrier-breaking technique that opened the door to riding waves previously considered too big — was born at Peahi, the Maui deep-water break also known as Jaws.
That’s one of many misconceptions about surf history that tow-in pioneer Buzzy Kerbox said he set out to correct in “Making Waves,” his new autobiography.
“The first tow-in sessions were in on the North Shore (of Oahu), at the outer reef breaks at Phantoms and Backyards,” said the former Hawaii pro surfer, 63, ranked several times in the world Top
“Darrick Doerner, Laird Hamilton and I were flat-water freeboarding (behind a motor boat) when we looked at the quality of the waves out there and (decided) to take my Zodiac and try to tow ourselves onto them.”
The Kailua High School grad added that he also wrote his book to motivate people to “stay active and keep busy, even as they get older.”
