Thanks a lot legends!! -
Im 54 years old and I grew up watching Bodyboarding Magazine to see all the great runners of the time and without a doubt to see the new maneuvers of the Master Mike Stewart, to go inspired to the beach to run. The truth is that continuing to watch him ride waves is still a blessing. I only wish good health and long life to this humble and inspiring man. Greetings from Puerto Rico...✌️🇵🇷🤙
I'm 50 now. I've been a long time fan of Mike Stewart since I was a kid back in the late 80s. Still am. Time flies! Mike's surfing is timeless.
That's why I have a science board style loaded f3, but to match with some fins of course has to be a viper fins. Help me find the viper icons yellow/blue, please.
His smoothness is so impressive. He uses the board and his body to "set a rail" like nobody else.
I was 14/15 years old and in that time he was already in my age now (around 40). He was legend and veteran already in that time, when I was following him through the portuguese bodyboard magazine “Vert”. In fact, age is just a number and he’s the best example of that! Long live to the king of Pipeline!! Greetings from Portugal (Caparica)
The true GOAT
No one else can pick and hold a line like Mike. So clean and smooth.
Dude navigated the naughty step at shippies like it was nothing. 😳
Biggest Body Board legend ever, second Guilherme Tâmega!
Body surfer too.
I agree with Mike but Temega??? He's sloppy. He reminds me of Andre Botha. Mike's polished. Nothing ever looks forced.
I agree with mudman! Tamega is a living legend and his world championships 🏆 say it all. Six world titles doesn't spell, "sloppy" to me!
Mike Stewart 👑
He has won the annual Banzai Pipeline event a record 11 times, from which 9 earned him the world title, and has been crowned the Pipeline Bodysurfing Classic champion a record 15 times
MS might be the king but Tamega comes in 2nd..
Ben Severson won in 1986. Mike and Ben grew up in the North Shore of Oahu which gives them a *MASSIVE* advantage over the likes of Tamega
I spent so much time bodyboarding growing up, if my dad had his backyard at pipeline, I'd too be a multiple world champion 🏆 title holder - without a shadow of a doubt!
Everyone or anyone who heads to the middle of the Pacific Ocean 🌊 all they do is surf?
I've seen Mike Stewart in the 80's and he's forcing moves in the title race.. these videos are on TH-cam - dig for them, you'll find them, I've seen them and it's clearly evident he's forcing his moves, so what is it you were saying about..
@@Yahuah780 Yeah, in small California PSSAs he forced a few for those 600 dollar first place checks. When I think of the Pioneers of the sport I think of Mike, Ben, Lindholm, Sasaki, Haouli Reeves, and Pat Caldwell. I don't dislike Temega, I know he shreds, I just like other people's style better. You have a point, he did win 6 titles. The best videos I've seen this year is the kid at the Medge. I think it's Josh Garner. Temega reminds me of Botha. Balls of steel, will go on anything, just not polished like a Ryan Hardy, or Whiny.
@@Yahuah780 I grew up in Huntington Beach and I loved riding the Wedge. I'm still friends with Eric and Mike Huseman both were pro back in the late 80s early 90s. Eric beat Stewart for the best shot in Bodyboarding magazine readers poll. It was a giant el Rollo 10 foot elevator drop at 15 ft Wedge.
He is still the the Best!. More than a Legend!.
Un exemple de longévité longue vie Mike the best surfer❤
My top waterman of all time. Thanks Mike for all the inspiration in and out of the water🤙🏽
True Goat
He is just an awesome human. He paddled up to a surf spot I was in in the 90s we where was hooting and calling each other into waves perfect surf for 45min.
Legend 🌊
Love you Mike. From vege mitevin Australia (emerald and Kiama)
Vege bowls Mike. Love you man
I remember the hate he got and when they made a poster of the huge barrel he caught at pipeline and the poster said “It dint count if you dint stand up” always been a Mike Stewart fan. I still have the old Mach7-7 Mike Stewart bodyboard from years ago.
I remember it well too! Crazy times
Born and raised on the big island, Hawaii and started in 1979 with a orange Aussie board.Didn’t even know the bodyboard was created a hour plus away from me and it’s pioneer! Late 80’s/early 90’s is We started to connect to surf when he’s home! GOAT!
The Wizard still shredding🧙♂️ me and da boys got to session with Mike in the Valley when we were groms(I’m 43 now) He was super cool and even signed our boards and gave us stickers when we got out the water🤙🏽aloha
Absolute legend!
LESSGOOO!

Absolute Legend
How the hell does he make it look so much smoother than anyone else in the world😂
NoI met Mike in Sydney a few years ago. Him and tanner. Honestly I was humbled by the experience. Mike is lovely man on all levels. I followed him to Kiama from emerald at Caringbah to be part of the reunion of all the famous bodyboarder from all over. The hubboard bothers were there. Eppo Ballard Percy Ross hawk... Doug Robinson ( Doug Dave and Mike . Jeff. Such great people)
Dave Ballard Barney. If you were there U know. Nobody on earth can out drink Eppo. That's a fact lol
HE'S ONE WITH THE OCEAN. (!!! /
The king 👑
We want more of the GOAT. Would love to see some early Mike footage.
Mike stewart is the best of all time🤙
He’s a goats GOAT I’mma call em the “goat Goat”… ya goat 🐐
8 minute of art
I'll be 52 and now live in Massachusetts. I lived in California for 10 years and was fortunate enough to ride with him a handful of times. I've seen him absolutely kill it in person at the Wedge and Huntington Beach.
Do you reckon MS should surf 🌊 Nazare?
I reckon he has so much experience, he could body surf a.. ft monster LMBO 😂😂🤣
Unreal! Can you imaging the tube time he has racked up! Maybe the most of any human ?
I would say so 👌
Mr Mike can i ask you a question?
I been body boarding for 27yrs and im 38 now, all science shit, meaning that i dont go to surf if it isn't with the original equipment by originals like yourself Mr Mike. My question is why is to difficult to find the viper icons i have always want, the yellow/bluefins. Can you help me? I want them fins cause back in the days yourself Mr Mike used to wear them😉 and the thing is that i have the money to buy them. Just hit me with a helpful link❤
i snaked him at the wedge once. i know he doesnt remember, but i do. sorry boss.
🤣🤣
Is it really that hotly debated? Feel like Mike being the GOAT is fairly uncontroversial. There are of course riders of subsequent generations that have surpassed Mike in technicality and strength... but I think everyone has to be seen from within the generational context they were in. And even despite being 60, he keeps up with the newer generation, especially in bigger surf, which is just a different level that is hard to imagine.
I think the SGOAT (second greatest of all time) would be an interesting debate though...
You hit the nail on the head! However a lot would disagree, people have different definitions of the GOAT. Eg Hubby is consistently the greatest throughout his life, if you want to talk about diversity the Dubb or Sammy would be contenders. DK = Roach/Jack. Straight up OG = Tom, Ben ..
@@WeBodyboard_Official Many Australian legends also.
