After decades of pitched, often violent, argument issue is finally settled with “Best Surf Team in History of Surf Industry” going to Body Glove ’82 cast featuring Ian Cairns, Matt Warshaw, Pete Townend and more!

GOAT

The amount of blood spilt over debating which surf brand has collected the greatest team in history is immeasurable. Proponents of Hurley’s 2013 “The Game has Changed” crew feat. Laura Enever, Carissa Moore, Julian Wilson, John John Florence, Conner Coffin waging pitched street battles against proponents of Channel Islands’ 1998 “We are all Black Beauty” feat. Tom Curren, Kelly Slater, Lisa Andersen, Rob Machado so barbaric as to scare a whole generation of mothers into letting their babies grow up to be surfers.

But, and finally, it has all been settled with the 1982 Body Glove pro team emerging undisputed.

To wit:

Peter Townend.

Ian Cairns.

Joey Buran.

Mike Benavidez.

Scott Daley.

Allen Sarlo.

Matt Warshaw.

Rocky Sabo.

GOAT.

Want more blood?

I defy you to beat.
