Mike Stewart is one of the most barrelled and most respected wave riding humans that ever was, most of that for his exploits at Pipeline. A pioneering pro bodyboarder in the 80’s, Stewart and Ben Severson took on Teahupoo in 1986, while his mastery at Pipeline is universally feted, be it bodyboarding or bodysurfing. Tom Curren, when once pressed on the greatest wave rider in the world responded, “Surfing doesn’t get any better than Mike Stewart at Pipeline.” His latest bodysurf skills can be seen in Come Hell or High Water.
