Alo-ha!
A conversation with Paul Strauch, Jr. and Steve Pezman
Gifted but mild-mannered individuals who don’t seek the spotlight— existing softly amid those who loudly call for recognition—are too often overlooked. This could be said of Paul Strauch Jr., a truly remarkable surfer for over four decades who quietly exudes the qualities of Hawaiian aesthetics and humble leadership that puts our sport and culture in its best light. As a Hawaiian surfer, with all that connotes, Strauch has been a hugely respected figure among knowledgeable aficionados and his greatest surfing peers for all those years—a form of recognition undoubtedly more satisfying to him than a constant flow of high-profile surf media acclaim. —S.P.
