Every Best Surfer of the Last 16-Years | The best doesn’t always win the world title

 

Want to know who the best surfer was for each year starting in 2001. It’s subjective, but STAB put it all together for us because sometimes the best surfer doesn’t win the world title.

 

Sample:

Just because John Florence is champion of the world doesn’t mean that every year the best surfer in the world wins the title.

For the sake of comparison, Stab waded back through the mists of time, looked at the last 16 years on tour, and picked our own champs. Sometimes our calls jive with what the establishment decided. Sometimes, they don’t. There’s no disputing that at certain points in their respective careers Kelly, Andy and Mick have all been “the best,” but because we love ourselves some controversy, we’ve also identified a few folks that stole our hearts despite their lack of silverware.
