At the height of his surfing career, after becoming the first professional world champion, Pete “PT” Townend made waves in Hollywood as a stunt double in the classic surf film Big Wednesday (1977). That same year, he settled in Huntington Beach with his wife, Loyann Bishop, and co-founded the “Bronzed Aussies” surf brand and team. PT went on to coach future legends like Tom Curren and Courtney Conlogue, lead the U.S. World Surfing Team to Gold in 1984, and shape the sport’s culture through his work at Surfing Magazine.
