    Miki Dora

    Legend refused to be influenced by the mainstream

    Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 15 July, 2006 : - - An early surfing 'star,' Mik1 Dora lived life his own quirky way. Quote;- "Waves are the ultimate illusion. They come out of nowhere, instantaneously materialize and just as quickly they break and vanish. Chasing such fleeting mirages is a complete waste of time. That is what I choose to do with my life." 

    Miki Dora died on Jan. 3, 2002 at the age of 67. He was one of the guys who surfed Malibu before the crowd took over. Having already surfed for years when surfing caught on he was simply the best for a time. He was born in Budapest, Hungary, but his parents soon moved to Los Angeles. They divorced and he was shuttled between a military school and his grandmother's house.
