Larry Bertlemann was point man for the advance guard that ushered in surfing's New School paradigm. It was Larry's way of thinking that broke through the free-flowing, speed line surfing of the '60s. It was Larry's vision of surfing - and of celebrity - that sent shock waves through the status quo. His life reflected, quite literally, his adopted motto and slogan, "Anything is Possible."
Larry Bertlemann was the seminal influence on surfers in his immediate circle, who rode at the same spots. He was the guy that started making the moves that everyone on the South Shore was soon doing - Mark Liddell, Buttons Kaluhiokalani, Michael Ho, and Dane Kealoha - as hot a local crew as you could imagine. And the one MOST in motion was the Afro-headed sultan of swivel, the titan of torque, the "Rubber Man," the first pioneer of the space age - Bertlemann. He was so groundbreaking that, when he started boosting airs in the 1970s, the move was called a Laerial.
