Laird HamiltionWhere are good surfing beaches on Long Island, NY?
Definitely Kelly Slater. He's won lots of awardsKelly Slater is the current world campion surfer (it's the 8th time he's won this title - the latest world championships was held in Mundaka, Basque Country, Northern Spain. He beat Joel Parkinson to this title.
The 34 year-old from Cocoa Beach, Florida, USA, needed only to finish ahead of his four closest rivals in this event to secure his second successive world title since coming out of retirement in 2002.
He was qouted saying:--
“It’s not as much of a rush as winning the title last year,” commented an elated Slater after his semi-final victory, explaining “That came seven years after the last of my six titles in the nineties, and having come so close in 2003 (when he finished second to Andy Irons (Haw) in the closest title race in ASP history) to win the again in 2005 was the best.”

I'm looking to buy a jet ski, any suggestions??
Well that depends. As far as awards and publicity, Sl8ter would be considered the best. It's hard to say who is the best because big wave surfers and regular surfers are completely different.The truth for me lies in who pro surfers list as their influences. Tom Curren frequently tops the list. I think he's simply amazing to watch. If it's tubes or airs then Bruce Irons gets a lot of attention, although I have to say, Jamie O'Brien is an animal and he keeps boosting bigger and bigger airs.
Andy Irons is very talented but he is not held in much regard by other surfers. His ego, well-publicised tantrums, and overly competitive nature have made him a fairly unlikeable guy.
Laird Hamilton has the best attitude and one of the best big wave surfers ever. He also gets a lot of publicity so other equally talented big wave surfers get overlooked.
When it comes to the women, Layne Beachly may have the most awards but her personality leaves a lot to be desired as well. I'm still quite fond of Lisa Anderson. Right now, Stephanie Gilmore and Chesea Hedges (formerly Georgeson) are two of the best.
