“The thinking man’s pro,” Randy Townsend is one of those guys who is intelligent and affable enough to be anything he wants. Lucky for us, he decided to become a pro surfer. From navigating road routes and communicating with locals in their native dialect to acting as a big brother to the groms and setting a great example in the water, Randall always knows what time it is: 12 o’clock at the Bowl… and just look how impressed Pruett is by this snap!
