Miki Dora influenced many, many people during his life. But since his death, interest in "Surfing's Black Knight" has grown and grown. I've lost count of the articles and books that have been published or the books due for release. And the answer to the question of who will be picked to play Miki in Leonardo DiCaprio's Appian Way Productions' film based on David Rensin's excellent biography - All for a Few Perfect Waves: The Audacious Life and Legend of Rebel Surfer Miki Dora - is fascinating to contemplate.

In the meantime, I still get loads of emails about Miki and his webpages on Surfwriter.net continue to be the site's most popular. So I've decided to add this page of eclectic images from various sources on the net.

The photographers of the photos that follow will be credited where the photographer is known and I would be grateful for information regarding the photographer and background for unattributed photographs. Thank you.

Riding in his later years and in perfect trim - this note from author, David Rensin:
"Miki ... at Supertubes in Jeffreys Bay --

Miki's drawing "Jump!" - from the Refrigerator Collection, courtesy of David Rensin.
It reminded me of Miki's advice to me in Saltwater Damage: "Move before it's too late."
