The Immortals

of Australian Surfing

Renowned surfing writer and identity Phil Jarratt takes the Immortals concept and selects his Top 12 riders – the best of the best from over 50 years of the local scene and world tour – and delves into their careers, the remarkable stories behind each Immortal's rise to the top, and the adversity faced.

We’re talking the true greats. Legendary riders selected and profiled include pioneers Midget Farrelly, Nat Young and Layne Beachley; the world champs of the seventies and eighties such as Mark Richards, Tom Carroll and Pam Burridge; to modern era greats Mick Fanning and Stephanie Gilmore.
