Biography

He also won the Pipeline Masters and Hawaii's Triple Crown of surfing, which includes the Masters, and big-wave contests at Haleiwa and Sunset Beach multiple times. Derek Ho was a goofyfoot surfer, meaning he surfed left-handed, with his right foot in front. He was known as an "enforcer" for Hawaiian locals on the North Shore who sought to teach traveling wave riders respect and order.
