Surfer Girl Lynne Boyer at Surfing Walk of Fame

 

Lynne Boyer, two-time world surfing champ, won her titles in 1978 and 1979. It was the first time any woman had won the championship twice. Recognized for her surfing career and paving the way for other girls and women, Lynne was recognized as an honoree into the Surfing Walk of Fame in Huntington Beach, Calif. Boyer didn't prepare a speech, as you'll hear her say in the video, but she did say that surfing has come a long way since the days she competed and won her world titles.

 

Living in Hawaii, Boyer spoke about the early days of the North Shore. Keep on surfing, she told the audience that gathered on the sidewalk and street of downtown Huntington Beach to watch the surf inductions of four recipients that were honored with engraved granite tiles in the sidewalk next to Jack's Surfboards on the corner of Main and Pacific Coast Highway in Huntington Beach. After her surfing career, Boyer began painting ocean, beaches and nature scenes from Hawaii, and is now recognized for her quality work that she sells on the internet (lynneboyer.com)
