A true big wave pioneer of the late ‘50s and ‘60s, he won the Makaha International surfing contest in 1958, regarded as the “world title” of its time.
More impressive than his competitive record is the fact that he remains an active and respected surfer well into his golden years.
A Stanford graduate who moved from California to Hawaii in 1958
to test his surfing mettle, Peter taught Math at Punahou, where future famous surfers Gerry Lopez and Jeff Hakman were among his students. He later served as an operations research analyst for the Navy Civil Service, but time in the ocean remained central to his lifestyle.
