- Michael Peterson was the greatest surfer of his generation, arguably of all time. His legacy lives on through a surf contest in his name, as he is remembered by friends, rivals and his mum, Joan.

MP, my hero growing up as a grom and when morning of the earth came out seeing Michael on the big screen☺️. Incredible waterman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RIP big fella✌️❤️
He's still my all-time favourite surfer. He surfed so smoothly and gracefully. No one could ever match his subtlety on a wave. He was the Michaelangelo of surfing. No one even came close to him (including Kelly) 🤙
Always the best and forever studied him watching morning of the earth..I think it made me surf better riding single fin s
He opened the trail to Curren and Slater with an unique inspiration. He was the first BEST!
What an artist ! Beautiful champion…
Grew up a few years younger than MP but I feel blessed to have watched him whenever there was waves.
Legend with a capital L
The term "Legend" in the surfing world has been lavished on too many to the point of losing true siginificance. MP was the epitomy of "True Legend".
A bit harsh.
Maybe true but it has twinges of green in the statement..
Wow love my old tracks to look at the past , so sad drugs took some of us , rip , good days at Kirra from us that now old 😭
1970 ,Lennox head ,mid winter ten foot plus perfect waves ,Nat young ,Wayne lynch. George Greenough all out carving , Micheal turns up ,and was by far the best surfer that day. That day proved to me he was the king , and I had a lot of respect for Micheal, as he actually shared a lot of waves with me , particularly when kirra reef was breaking left for awhile , God bless Micheal and his family
Michael Peterson had a unique flow and grace and no amount of contemporary airborne wankery comes close to his legacy. Gerry Lopez was also amazing.
Airborne wankery lmAO, and yeah you're right!
could not agree more

Hearing his mom speaking about him made me shed a tear. He was like the Van Gogh of surfing.
differently the Van Gough of surfing and undervalued by the surfing Industry like all great Artists they take advantage of the vulnerable.
You are great Michael.
🙏🙏
MP forever!
KING
Love his style
That was sad..mrs p...
As rabbit said the best in the world at one time
That generation were to hard to reach by governments and truly free
I remember reading how Tom Carroll and a few went to bells early to try and beat him and MP showed up a few hours before the event and smashed everyone
Dr Bronners Castile soap. Not wax, was in the drawer😅
He was way ahead of the pack. Free surfing, contests big surf small surf he dominated. This created a lot of jealousy and the rest of the elites had no answer to his brilliance. Plus he was not from Witzig ville he was from the down to earth Kirra hood.
No leashes !
And few people in the line up, makes a huge difference 🏄♂️
@pubgutt2076
That's because..... No leashes keeps crowds honest and minimal.
His mother seems creepy about his fame . Was he not enough ad just another human ?
Australian media seems so bizarre as well.
Rabbit Wayne Bartholomew also seems odd - what the bleep.
Surfing is for most healing and good.
Perhaps surfing for money is the idea we must look into .
I'm not impressed. Did he ride Mavericks
those waves didn't exist in the surfing world then !
@@billyneaves1707. Somebody better do something about that then because situations exists that sometimes you wonder are they really what you think and would they really even be there or would they ever really even know we're not sure so let's figure it out
