Ken Bradshaw & Layne Beachley
Ken Bradshaw & Layne Beachley
This one is a touch old news/90’s… but in all honesty, so are we, and that certainly never did us any harm. Ken Bradshaw, Texan man mountain turned Waimea/Sunset fixture, hooked up with then high flying Australian pro Layne Beachley, in what would have been the Jack & Alana of 1999 (haven’t we all come a long way since then!)
Ken’s coaching (controversial earpiece at Pipe episode), shapes and above all, love, nurture and support helped Layne secure her first of seven ASP World Titles in ’98 (the couple split in 2002, and Layne’s now married to INXS star Kirk Pengilly). With this power couple’s romance having taken place in pre YouTube days, little video exists of them canoodling… which is probably for the best.
