JORGE MACHUCA THE LEGEND

Jorge Machuca was the first Puertorrican surfer that owned by his natural talent a world wide admiration. In the 1968 World Surfing Championship, held in Rincon Puerto Rico young Machuca impresed Corky Carrol and Fred Hemmings by his futuristic surfing. At only 14 years old, was the youngest surfer at the contest, showing new moves like floaters and switch stances. Jorge Machuca was the inspiration of new breed of surfers that started the spark of modern surfing. As a tribute to this legend I will use Machuca as a pseudonym.
