1/11: Surfer

Do a google search on Laird Hamilton (he was/is married to Gabby Reese - yummy) -- he's been one of the forerunners of tow-in surfing. If you saw "Endless Summer 2," then you definitely saw him. He was the stacked mofo that was windsurfing between islands in Fiji. What a life.
There's also been quite a debate about the validity of tow-in to the sport, inasmuch that you aren't into the "true soul" if you use a machine to catch waves. I figure if you use a boat to get there in the first place, what's the difference in using a smaller one to get into the wave?
