Who was/is the heaviest surfer on record?

Factual Questions
1

Who was the heaviest (as in pounds) surfer on record to surf waves? I’ve seen some pretty heavy guys surfing, but has there ever been a documented case of say…a largely overweight or even an obese surfer?

2

Wasn’t it Brian Wilson?

3

I nominate this guy. But ‘overweight’ is a relative term, right?

4

I’d say Greg Noll.

Har har! But seriously, Dennis Wilson was the only Beach Boy who could surf, apparently.

Well, now we know who’s responsible for the recent tsunami.

There was a Hawai’ian guy about 20 years back, first name of Dane (I think), who had legs like tree trunks. He was a pretty big guy.

I was thinking of Dane Kealoha- not that huge, just strong…
