Following up on the series of biographies of surfing legends in this section, we dedicate this issue to the fifth World Champion in history, Rolf Aurness. A man with an interesting surfing career, he virtually disappeared from the surf scene after winning the World Championship in 1970 at the age of 18.
In early May of that year, at Australia’s Johanna Beach, Aurness beat previous World Champions, Midget Farrelly and Nat Young, and legendary surfers Reno Abellira, Peter Drouyn and Keone Downing.
The following article was written in 2000 by the talented surfing journalist Drew Kampion, published on surfline.com.
